AMS Music & Disability Studies
Community of Practice
|
The Community of Practice is a colloquium series hosted by the AMS Music and Disability Study Group (DisMus) that aims to prioritize accessibility, community building, support, and solidarity among membership. We believe it is the responsibility of the AMS to accommodate the access needs of all participating members; therefore, DisMus offers this series as an opportunity to re-define accessibility in higher education and to reconsider the manner in which music academics share knowledge and engage in community building. We invite you to consider participating in this series through a variety of presentation styles from traditional papers to collaborative and performance-based presentations or workshops.
