MP6: Jazz and Culture


About

Active since: 2020

Closed Group of Collaborators

Collaborative Goals

Our group has three main goals:

  1. To foster community and network among scholars writing about jazz and culture, broadly construed.
  2. To nurture connections with other jazz scholars, especially in ways that enrich our own scholarship.
  3. To foster accountability for group members as they make progress on their own projects.
