1. Currently, one of the areas that academia has been focusing on is interdisciplinary research. Indeed, in the Shelemay 2001 reading (due for 10/23), Shelemay writes about overlapping disciplinary boundaries between anthropology, ethnomusicology, and musicology. In what ways can ethnomusicology be interdisciplinary, what other fields can it "combine" with, what difficulties may be encountered, and how would all parties benefit?
2. On pages 36 and 37 of Shadows in the Field, Titon mentions three criticisms of ethnomusicology. How can these be addressed? For example, what would remedy the critique that fieldwork-based enterprises rest on asymmetries of power? Alternatively, if you believe that these criticisms cannot be remedied, please explain why.
