[MUSICultures Journal]

I am very pleased to announce the publication of an unofficial special issue of MUSICultures (46: 2) on music and the environment. This issue complements our recent issue on ecologies (45: 1-2), and I’m delighted that Aaron Allen and Jeff Todd Titon were willing to preface the current issue with a special introduction.

This issue is available to current members of the Canadian Society for Traditional Music here (non-members can freely access issues more than 3 years old): https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/MC.
