THEME — Home

THEME (at the University of Oregon) is a group of faculty and graduate students interested in music research.  While the name is an acronym for Theory, History, Ethnomusicology, and Music Education — and majors in those areas are particularly encouraged to participate — many of our regular THEME participants are members of other departments, such as composition, performance, or jazz studies.

THEME is also an email distribution list used to announce events and to discuss issues related to THEME members’ research.  It is also used to pass on announcements of upcoming conferences — especially those that might be good opportunities for graduate student presentations.

THEME provides a variety of opportunities for sharing ideas about music research.  These include invited presentations, a potluck/orientation, “get a job” workshops, proposal-writing workshops, member presentations, readings seminars, and conference reports.
