We are thrilled to share the news that Judith Lochhead, Professor of Critical Music Studies, has been elected President of the Society for Music Theory (SMT), the largest and most active body of music theorists in the world.
Founded in 1977, SMT “promotes the development of and engagement with music theory as a scholarly and pedagogical discipline, [construing] this discipline broadly as embracing all approaches, from conceptual to practical, and all perspectives, including those of the scholar, listener, composer, performer, teacher, and student.” The Society is also “committed to fostering diversity, inclusivity, and gender equity in the field,” an area in which Professor Lochhead has a long record of leadership and service.
