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. To build a network and foster a sense of community among scholars writing about jazz and culture, broadly construed.
  2. To use this network to develop our scholarship, especially through workshops focused on new and ongoing projects.
  3. To establish accountability to support group members’ progress on their various writing projects.
