Ten years ago, the American Musicological Society and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame began a lecture series based on the idea of bringing the best in popular music scholarship to a wider audience, and at the same time connecting scholars to the unique collections at the Rock Hall’s Library and Archive. This roundtable conversation gathers past and future presenters from the series to discuss the state of popular music studies --where it's been, and where it's headed. The panelist reflect on their presentations, their current research, and the music they love (we might even ask them who they want to see Inducted into the Rock Hall). Panelists include Steve Baur (Dalhousie University), David Brackett (McGill University), Theo Cateforis (Syracuse University), Loren Kajikawa (George Washington University), and Stephanie Vander Wel (University at Buffalo). Jason Hanley and Mandy Smith of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame moderate the conversation.
