Words on Music Public Lecture featuring Beverley Diamond

April 4, 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Queen Lili'uokalani Center for Student Services (QLC) Rm. 412

7th Annual Words on Music Speaker Beverley Diamond: “The Doubleness of Sound at Canada's Indian Residential Schools.”

The Ethnomusicology Association at UH Mānoa is presenting the talk by the renowned ethnomusicologist, Beverley Diamond, Ethnomusicology Professor Emeritus from Memorial University of Newfoundland School of Music, Canada.

This talk focuses on colonialism and Indigenous issues through music. Diamond considers sound and music in the schools themselves as both tools of oppression and assimilation, on one hand, and agency/trauma relief, on the other hand. She also looks at music in the context of the recent Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools in Canada.

A reception will be held after the talk.

Diamond’s lecture and residency at UH Mānoa are organized by the Ethnomusicology Association, a part of the Music Department’s ethnomusicology area, in cooperation with the Student Activity and Program Fee Board (SAPFB).
