Judith Tick, the Matthews Distinguished University Professor of Music History at Northeastern University in Boston, has been a leading figure in American music scholarship for several decades, having made major contributions through her books, articles, and public presentations, as well as through teaching and outstanding service to the field of musicology. A permanent research endowment was established in her honor by the Society for American Music, the premiere professional organization in her areas of greatest interest.
This fellowship shall be given to support scholarly research leading to publication on musical topics involving women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Preference will be given to projects that resonate with the primary research areas that have been the focus of Prof. Tick’s distinguished career, including women’s music-making across time and musical genres; musical biography; and source studies in American music. The fellowship is awarded competitively to scholars at any phase of their careers. The fellowship may support research expenses for archival or ethnographic research, including but not limited to travel expenses, books, and media resources.
No more than one award will be offered in each cycle. The amount of the award each cycle will vary depending on the interest generated by its endowment. The maximum award is $1,000.
