This weekend, February 12-14, 2021, IU Musicology Prof. Jill Rogers and graduate students Jacqueline Fortier and Jessica Bachman will see the fruits of weeks and months of labor come to life as “Music, Sound, and Trauma: Interdisciplinary Perspectives” gets underway. This first-of-its-kind conference will explore many facets of the long and complex relationship between sound and trauma.
The presentations, performances, workshops and seminars that will be presented over three days aims to illuminate the current state of research on music and trauma, while also generating rich discussion of further avenues of interdisciplinary inquiry, activism, and collaboration. Registration is free; just visit the conference website to save your virtual seat!

Prof. Rogers also recently published a book, Resonant Recoveries: French Music and Trauma Between the World Wars (Oxford University Press). Released on January 22, 2021, the book offers a new perspective on interwar French music and demonstrates that music is an important source of consolation in people’s lives during difficult times.
Congratulations to Prof. Rogers and all involved!
