John Beckwith, composer, writer, and professor emeritus, Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, was one of Beverley Diamond's teachers at the University of Toronto. His Arctic Dances for oboe and piano (1984) are based on her transcriptions of Inuit dance-songs. Recent works include A New Pibroch for Highland pipes, strings, and percussion (2003); Fractions for microtonal piano and string quartet (2006); and Beckett Songs for baritone and guitar (2008). A CD of selected vocal works, Avowals, appeared in 2007 from Centrediscs. Beckwith is the author of Music Papers: Articles and Talks by a Canadian Composer, 1961-1994 (1997), and In Search of Alberto Guerrero (2006). Talks given at a symposium in Toronto in 2007 marking his eightieth birthday appear in the ICM Newsletter 5, no. 3 (September 2007).
Rob Bowman has been writing professionally about rhythm and blues, rock, country, jazz, and gospel for over a quarter century. Nominated for five Grammy Awards, in 1996 Bowman won the Grammy in the "Best Album Notes" category for a 47,000-word monograph he penned to accompany a 10-CD box set that he also co-produced, The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles Volume 3: 1972-1975 (Fantasy Records). He is also the author of Soulsville U.S.A.: The Story of Stax Records (Schirmer Books), winner of the 1998 ASCAP-Deems Taylor and ARSC Awards for Excellence in Music Research. On top of his popular press and liner note work, Bowman played a seminal role in the founding and creation of the Stax Museum of American Soul Music (opened in Memphis in 2003), wrote the four-part television documentary series The Industry, and has helped pioneer the study and teaching of popular music in the world of academia. He is a tenured professor at York University in Toronto, and regularly lectures on popular music around the world.

She is associate professor and director of the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women's and Gender Studies at Carleton University where she has taught since 1997. An ethnomusicologist and social anthropologist, Virginia's research lies at the intersection of feminism, anthropology, and child/girlhood research. Her work addresses theoretical and methodological approaches to research with children with a specific interest in children as social actors. Her research has included work on children's experiences in schools, gender issues in music, children's oral traditions, young women and technology, and third wave feminism.

A former president of the Society for Ethnomusicology and co-founder, in 1982, of the Navajo Studies Conference, Inc., she continues both anthropological and ethnomusicological research. At present, her Navajo work focuses on ethnohistory, historic preservation and restoration, traditional foods and their preparation, traditional indigenous knowledge, repatriation and other responses to NAGPRA, and autobiographies. Other continuing interests include indigenous peoples of North America, gender studies, ritual drama, language and culture, Native American hymnody, action anthropology, collaborative/reciprocal ethnography, history of SEM and its early women, and the history of the Quercus Grove southern Illinois farming community where she and her family live. A music major in college years ago, Charlotte also maintains a lively interest in church music and performs it as a bell-ringer and an organist.

She is the author of Zouk: World music in the West Indies (1993) and the co-editor of Border crossings: New direction in music studies (1999-2000). Her recent book, Governing sound: The cultural politics of Trinidad's Carnival musics (2007), explores the ways the calypso music scene became audibly entangled with projects of governing, audience demands, and market incentives.

She is currently co-editing (with Susan Fast, McMaster University) a volume of essays entitled Music, violence and geopolitics, which explores the role of music in geopolitical conflicts from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including wars, revolutions, protests, genocides, and the post-9/11 "war on terror."
