Wisdom Wednesdays

In July 2020, the Gertrude Robinson Network Group within the Society for Ethnomusicology began hosting “Wisdom Wednesdays,” monthly zoom gatherings featuring senior ethnomusicology scholars sharing knowledge from their lives and careers more junior scholars as well as graduate and undergraduate students. These monthly sessions serve as check ins for Black scholars in ethnomusicology, who are often isolated from each other in their own universities and organizations. Wisdom Wednesdays operate as a reunion of sorts, where people can come together and share stories before going out to face the day again.
