Wavelengths will focus on the back-and-forwards movement of musical traditions between Ireland and the United States and identify newer currents and fusions in transatlantic music. We invite proposals for conference presentations - individual papers and panels. Conference themes will include, but will not be limited to:
Race and ethnicity
Nation and identity
