established in July 2023 — brings together ethnomusicology students and graduates from around the world. The network aims to foster connections and engagement between early career scholars as well as serve as a focal point for emerging scholars by representing their interests within the ICTMD to ensure the organisation is better equipped to support scholars at all stages of their careers. </p> <p>The network is guided by a committee composed of ICTMD Executive Board Members and early career scholars (see below), providing spaces — both digitally and at conferences — for ECSN members to connect and grow their scholarly networks by organising events and workshops to equip those at the early stages of their academic careers to better face the challenges ahead of them. Further, the committee plays an essential pastoral role within the network, listening and reacting to members’ questions, suggestions, and comments, and regularly updating ECSN members with information and opportunities relevant to their development as scholars.</p> <h2>Joining ECSN</h2> <p>The ECSN currently communicates through a mailing list that is hosted directly by ICTMD. If you are interested in signing up for that mailing list to receive and share information relevant for early career scholars within ICTMD, be updated on any news concerning ICTMD events such as colloquia, conferences, and special meetings etc., please write a message to <a href="mailto:kendra-iris.stepputat@kug.ac.at">kendra-iris.stepputat@kug.ac.at</a> and we will sign you up.</p> <h2>Composition of Committee</h2> <h4>Chair, ICTMD Executive Board Member:</h4> <ul> <li> <p>Kendra Stepputat, Professor, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria. <a href="mailto:kendra-iris.stepputat@kug.ac.at">kendra-iris.stepputat@kug.ac.at</a></p> </li> </ul> <h4>Committee Members</h4> <ul> <li> <p>Armaghan Fakhraeirad, PhD Student, University of Pennsylvania, USA. <a href="mailto:faar@sas.upenn.edu">faar@sas.upenn.edu</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subash Giri, PhD Student, University of Alberta, Canada. <a href="mailto:sgiri@ualberta.ca">sgiri@ualberta.ca</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Meri Haami, Kairangahau (Researcher) and PhD, Tū Tama Wāhine o Taranaki. <a href="mailto:meri.haami@tutamawahine.org.nz">meri.haami@tutamawahine.org.nz</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Andrew Kagumba, PhD Student, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. <a href="mailto:akkagumba@mun.ca">akkagumba@mun.ca</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Alexandra Leonzini, PhD Student, University of Cambridge, UK. <a href="mailto:avl31@cam.ac.uk">avl31@cam.ac.uk</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Mark Lenini Parselelo, PhD Student, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada. <a href="mailto:mlparselelo@mun.ca">mlparselelo@mun.ca</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Pablo Rojas, PhD Student and Scientific Staff, University of Vienna, Austria. <a href="mailto:pablo.rojas@univie.ac.at">pablo.rojas@univie.ac.at</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Kurt Schatz, PhD Student and University Assistant, University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria. <a href="mailto:kurt.schatz@kug.ac.at">kurt.schatz@kug.ac.at</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Jose Taton Jr., PhD Student, University of the Philippines Visayas, Philippines. <a href="mailto:jrtaton@up.edu.ph">jrtaton@up.edu.ph</a></p> </li> </ul> <h2>Recent Postings</h2> </div></div></div><div class="view view-og-extras-nodes view-id-og_extras_nodes view-display-id-entity_view_1 view-dom-id-a4c9a5cb38ac886b861a305b35773bbf"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first"> <div id="node-6013" class="node node-network-post node-promoted node-teaser clearfix" about="/network-post/upcoming-sessions-early-career-scholars-48th-ictmd-world-conference" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <h2> <a href="/network-post/upcoming-sessions-early-career-scholars-48th-ictmd-world-conference">Upcoming Sessions for Early Career Scholars at the 48th ICTMD World Conference</a> </h2> <span property="dc:title" content="Upcoming Sessions for Early Career Scholars at the 48th ICTMD World Conference" class="rdf-meta element-hidden"></span> <div class="content format_text"> <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>We are excited to announce several special sessions tailored for early career scholars during the 48th ICTMD World Conference, set to take place in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2025.
