After Charlottesville: A Statement of Affirmation
Recent events in Charlottesville have served as a reminder that institutions of higher education can become the very stage upon which forces of hatred and violence play out. The Executive Board of the Society for Music Theory reaffirms the Society’s values of open and respectful dialogue and our commitment to ideals of justice, dignity, and equality for all peoples. The hatred that we witnessed directed against those who acted in defense of these values contradicts and threatens our core principles. We stand together for inclusivity, diversity, and the free exchange of ideas.

The Society for Music Theory promotes the development of and engagement with music theory as a scholarly and pedagogical discipline.

The Society is committed to fostering diversity, inclusivity, and gender equity in the field.
