International Seminar: New perspectives on mid-twentieth century Spain (1931-1959), 4 JUNE 2021 Seminario Internacional: Nuevas perspectivas sobre la España de mediados del siglo XX (1931-1959), 4 JUNIO 2021  The difficult months of the global pandemic have stopped many academic congresses and seminars, limiting possibilities for joint discussion and reflection, vital for ongoing research for early career historians.

The Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era Special Issue: New Approaches to Music and Sound Guest Editors: David Suisman and Rebecca Tinio McKenna If new book series and journal special issues are any indication, over the last decade, there has been a surge of interest in the musical and sonic worlds of the past. Scholars of music, sound studies, disability studies, transnational and postcolonial studies, cultural history, history of the senses, and others have been expanding our historical understanding of soundscapes, music cultures, aurality, acoustics, and other aspects of the work sound does in the world. New scholarship is connecting music and sound with politics and social movements, capitalism and commerce, the formation of racial, gender, and class identity and difference, the history of technology and of natural environments, and more. For historians of music and sound in the U.S. context, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era is an especially important period. The years
