Naming the Frames that Shape Us


 This introduction provides context for the Society for Music Theory’s 2019 plenary session, “Reframing Music Theory.” These four papers together confront the frames of race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, gender, and sexuality that have bounded music theory and music theorists for generations, constraining what our discipline can be. They explore underlying reasons for the lack of diversity in the Society’s demographics and suggest ways that our research can be enriched when we embrace this diversity, to lead to a more equitable future.
