WMA Forum

One of the newly introduced features at the Berlin conference was a Forum section, which is meant to give word and music scholars an opportunity of presenting their work (in progress) to their colleagues without the need of conforming to given conference topics. The most interesting Forum papers are selected to be published in the Newsletters, and in this issue you will find three from very different fields of interest and by scholars from countries as diverse as Scotland, Russia and the USA. Especially younger scholars are encouraged to take up the opportunities of Forum presentations at WMA conferences.
