Rather than providing a comprehensive survey of global musics, the course emphasizes critical and experiential ways of listening to, engaging with, and thinking about music. Grounded in anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and anti-colonial approaches, students will examine how music and sound intersect with culture, identity, politics, and power. Through thematic case studies, experiential assignments, and collaborative classroom activities, students will develop reflexive listening practices and methods for ethically engaging, analyzing, and researching music and sound across difference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: TBA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: TBA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">MUSI 2203A: Music in Canada &#8211; Fall Term<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INSTRUCTOR: Ellen Waterman<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: This course explores how music operates in the nation state currently known as Canada through three broad themes: histories, institutions, and identities. Tracing different histories provides a context for the social influences that have shaped music cultures in Canada from colonialism and Indigenous resurgence to regional and linguistic influences. Institutions, such as professional societies, arts councils, unions, legal frameworks, libraries, and broadcasters shape the ways that the music industry operates in Canada. In our pluralistic and multicultural society, music is an important expression of identity. We will explore this theme by examining the relationship between music and nation, gender\/sexuality, and diversity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>METHOD OF EVALUATION: Three short assignments (30%), participation (20%), group project (25%), final exam (25%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>READINGS: All course readings will be available online<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CROSS-LISTED WITH: CDNS 2210A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">MUSI 2607A: Digital Music Literacy &#8211; Winter Term<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INSTRUCTOR: Jack Hui Litster<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DESCRIPTION: MUSI 2607 will have three areas of study: 1.
