Patrick McCreless is conducting a Peer Learning Workshop at the AMS/SMT meeting in Milwaukee. A few years ago, SMT established a program for graduate students, whereby students from around the country could apply for a three-hour workshop, given by an established scholar in his or her specialized area, on the Thursday morning of the annual conference. (James Hepokoski and Ian Quinn have both offered graduate workshops in this program.) The workshops were so successful that last year the Society added Peer Learning Workshops: the format is the same, but the participants are faculty rather than graduate students. At the Milwaukee meeting there will be two such workshops: Professor McCreless will lead a seminar on Shostakovich’s Twelfth Quartet, and Andrew Mead (Indiana University) will convene one on the topic “Writing about Hearing and Making Aggregate-Based Music.”
