This year’s meeting will be bursting with the most cutting-edge and recent research by scholars in our region —graduate students and faculty. The 2014 conference will feature several important roundtables—one, featuring UCSB interdisciplinary professors and another comprised of leading ethnomusicologists from UCLA, and the screening of a film produced by an SEMSCHC member that was recently aired on national network television.

Sunday’s schedule will include more panels; a roundtable and a paper that will be presented live from Hawaii via Skype,
