Professor of Music Education
Location: Humanities 1641
Psychologist Carl Seashore (1866-1949) is probably best remembered in music circles as a titanic founding father of music education research and as the creator of the first musical aptitude tests. However, he made contributions in a wide range of other fields, as well, including ethnomusicology and higher education administration. What is not widely known is that he was deeply involved in the American eugenics movement. This colloquium will focus on how Seashore’s classed, raced, and gendered eugenical views infused and informed his work in music, education, and music education.
