The interdisciplinary field of ethnomusicology is concerned with understanding music as a global and social phenomenon, and as a creative practice that is at once political. Universities engaged in the professional training of ethnomusicologists have developed programs with differing emphases, in part, reflecting the specialties of the faculty and their distinctive approaches to the concerns of the field. Programs variously strike a balance between the ethnographic and musicological. The Duke track is designed with the versatility to accommodate studentsâ€™ diverse interests. Those who envision conducting research that primarily intersects with other musical subfields can utilize the multi-faceted training available with in Dukeâ€™s small music graduate program. Students whose primary interest lies in linking music studies to the interpretive social sciences and global humanities can exploit Dukeâ€™s lateral opportunities and interdisciplinary relationships.
