“Until That Song Is Born”: an Ethnographic Investigation of Teaching and Learning Among Collaborative Songwriters in Nashville
“UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Music Education—Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT “UNTIL THAT SONG IS BORN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AMONG COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITERS IN NASHVILLE By Stuart Chapman Hill With the intent of informing the practice of music educators who teach songwriting in K– 12 and college/university classrooms, the purpose of this research is to examine how professional songwriters in Nashville, Tennessee—one of songwriting’s professional “hubs”—teach and learn from one another in the process of engaging in collaborative songwriting. This study viewed songwriting as a form of “situated learning” (Lave & Wenger, 1991) and “situated practice” (Folkestad, 2012) whose investigation requires consideration of the professional culture that surrounds creative activity in a specific context (i.e., Nashville). The following research questions guided this study: (1) How do collaborative songwriters describe the process of being inducted to, and learning within, the practice of professional songwriting in Nashville, (2) What teaching and learning behaviors can be identified in the collaborative songwriting processes of Nashville songwriters, and (3) Who are the important actors in the process of learning to be a collaborative songwriter in Nashville, and what roles do they play (e.g., gatekeeper, mentor, role model)? This study combined elements of case study and ethnography. Data sources included observation of co-writing sessions, interviews with songwriters, and participation in and observation of open mic and writers’ nights. -

During the last semester, there were changes in Chairs of both ESFRI and e-IRG, whereas, both an e-IRG blue paper (requested by ESFRI) and ESFRI TWG documents have been produced, to support decision making procedures, which will significantly move RIs forward, despite the worldwide economic crisis. The presentations and discussion held during the International Conference on RIs in Rome (http://www.euroris-net.eu/News/project_news) highlight - among other issues - the socio-economic benefits stemming from Research Infrastructures, built with a global perspective and requiring an international cooperation setting, fully aligned with the European Research and Innovation Strategy. In the current issue, you can read information on the outcomes of important RI events in which EuroRIs- Net actively participated throughout this period, with dynamic contribution both in the dissemination of the benefits of RI programme to research communities, and to the broader dialogue with all FP7 thematic areas covered within the Research Infrastructures programme. ■ Project News and Events 1.

Allyson E. Smally. A Comparative Analysis of Open Access Institutional Repositories in Mexico. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S degree. March, 2013. 69 pages. Advisor: Barbara Moran. This project examined open access digital repositories in Mexico. The results are based on data drawn from repository websites and guided by three research questions: 1) How do Mexican repositories promote or encourage the development of national standards for preservation of digital information? 2) Are Mexican repositories and their content easily accessible within their host institutions and on the Web? 3) Can repositories serve to promote collaboration and establish connections between scholars? Examining repositories revealed that nearly all rely on software and metadata developed outside of Mexico but that many do take a role in advancing the discussion about digital preservation. Repositories had mixed levels of web visibility, both within their own institution and on the web. Some of the larger repositories that draw from multiple institutions incorporate features that might promote collaboration, but this is less common among repositories focused solely on the research output of one institution.

1 "Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music S
"Disco Madness: Walter Gibbons and the Legacy of Turntablism and Remixology" Tim Lawrence Journal of Popular Music Studies, 20, 3, 2008, 276-329 This story begins with a skinny white DJ mixing between the breaks of obscure Motown records with the ambidextrous intensity of an octopus on speed. It closes with the same man, debilitated and virtually blind, fumbling for gospel records as he spins up eternal hope in a fading dusk. In between Walter Gibbons worked as a cutting-edge discotheque DJ and remixer who, thanks to his pioneering reel-to-reel edits and contribution to the development of the twelve-inch single, revealed the immanent synergy that ran between the dance floor, the DJ booth and the recording studio. Gibbons started to mix between the breaks of disco and funk records around the same time DJ Kool Herc began to test the technique in the Bronx, and the disco spinner was as technically precise as Grandmaster Flash, even if the spinners directed their deft handiwork to differing ends. It would make sense, then, for Gibbons to be considered alongside these and other towering figures in the pantheon of turntablism, but he died in virtual anonymity in 1994, and his groundbreaking contribution to the intersecting arts of DJing and remixology has yet to register beyond disco aficionados.1 There is nothing mysterious about Gibbons's low profile. First, he operated in a culture that has been ridiculed and reviled since the "disco sucks" backlash peaked with the symbolic detonation of 40,000 disco records in the summer of 1979. -
