Abstract

Abstract Queer music theory emerges in conjunction with rising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and racism in music theory. In this conversation, editor Gavin S. K. Lee engages Philip Ewell, the foremost critic of racism in music theory, and Robert Hatten, who as former SMT president was instrumental in the formation of the SMT LGBTQ+ Standing Committee, discussing ways in which scholars coming from different perspectives can support the LGBTQ+ cause, while always being aware of one’s positionality and limitations. The conversation ranged over recent racist discourse in music theory, the conjunction of LGBTQ+ and other minority discourse, the dialectic of generality and specificity found both in music theory and in queer theory, and ways of cooperating in alliances.
