UCLA hosts 55th Annual Meeting of Society for Ethnomusicology at Wilshire Grand Hotel Nov. 11-14


[Jacqueline Cogdell DjeDje, Ph.D.]

Jacqueline Cogdell DjeDje is Chair and Professor of the Department of Ethnomusicology at UCLA. We have received a Message From The Chair on the activities of the Department. A noteworthy event is the 55th Annual Meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM) at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, November 11-14, 2010. Here are some excerpts which may be of general interest:

“This is a special year because we are celebrating 50 years of ethnomusicology at UCLA.” “Information about the history and significance of the 50th anniversary can be found on the Department web site.”
“Fall quarter 2010 activities are significant because many alumni will participate in the Alumni Symposium and Dinner on November 9, 2010. In addition, UCLA is hosting the 55th Annual Meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM) at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. Prior to the meeting, on November 10, a pre-conference symposium organized in honor of Nazir Ali Jairazbhoy, the first chair of our department, will also be held at the Wilshire Grand.
