Iowa faculty and students shared their recent research at both AMS meetings this fall. At AMS Midwest’s online conference, Rebekah Erdman (Musicology, Candidate) presented “Ina Boyle’s Glencree Symphony: ‘Englishness’ in an Irish Landscape,” which features work from her in-progress dissertation, “Liminal Landscapes: Women Composing Nature in Twentieth-Century Britain.”

 Marian Wilson Kimber’s paper, “Mrs. Wardwell’s Plan of Study: The Women’s Club Movement and the Historiography of American Music,” draws from her book project on the history and cultural legacy of women’s music clubs in the United States. At AMS’s annual meeting in Chicago, Nathan Platte delivered a paper exploring the layered commentary represented in Duke Ellington’s concept album on Disney’s Mary Poppins.
