MP6: Jazz and Culture

About

The Jazz and Culture Writing Group will support new and ongoing writing projects through workshops for scholars examining issues relating to jazz and culture. We also hope to promote interaction among jazz scholars within the CNY Humanities Corridor.

Active since: 2020

Closed Group of Collaborators

  • University of Rochester
  • St. Lawrence University

Collaborative Goals

Our group has three main goals:

  1. The first is to create accountability for group members to help finish various writing projects.
  2. Our second goal is to use these workshops to develop our scholarship.
  3. Our third goal is to foster a sense of community and network among scholars writing about jazz and culture, broadly construed.
