Have you ever pondered “queerness” in country music? What about “black imaginative freedom”?
If not, there is still time to hustle over to the University of Chicago’s “Country Music as Theory: Intersections & Implications For the Humanities and Social Science,” conference, going on this weekend.
The conference “will convene scholars of country and adjacent sounds, histories, geographies, and materialities from diverse disciplines.”
The scholars will “work both towards an understanding of country music’s complexity and underexamined corners as well as its place in and potential for contemporary theory and scholarship,” according to an event description.
