Poster Presentations
Abstracts for Poster Presentations submissions follow the same rules given for Paper Presentations, above. If your abstract is selected, please design your poster that it is easy to read and include some visuals or charts. Allocate the top of the poster for the title and authors’ names and affiliations. Remember the audience may have a short time frame to read your poster. All posters should be based on the submitted abstract as accepted by the Conference Committee.

Poster size should be A1 international paper size. Materials, including the title, should not extend beyond the poster size. Do not use foam core or any thick or multi-layered materials or pushpins directly on the poster boards. Please make sure that the material used for the poster allows it to be posted on the boards. Because of the physical configuration of this type of session, no additional audio-visual equipment is provided.

Dr. Esther M. Morgan-Ellis
Associate Professor of Music History,
The University of North Georgia
Esther M. Morgan-Ellis is Associate Professor of Music History at the University of North Georgia, where she also directs the orchestra and coaches the old-time string band. She studies participatory music-making traditions of the past and present, employing both historical and ethnographic methodologies. She is particularly interested in the ways that media have been used to facilitate participation and construct community. Her first monograph, Everybody Sing! Community Singing in the American Picture Palace (2018), explores the role of slides and films in movie theater sing-alongs of the 1920s and 1930s, while in recent musicological publications she has considered mid-century sing-along radio and television programs. She has also written extensively about the use (and mis-use) of videoconferencing and live-streaming platforms to facilitate participatory music-making during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on Sacred Harp singing and old-time jamming. She is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Community Singing (forthcoming), which will include her theorization of mediated community singing. Dr. Morgan-Ellis is also active as scholar of teaching and learning. She has published frequently in the Journal of Music History Pedagogy and is editor of both the open-access music appreciation textbook Resonances: Engaging Music in Its Cultural Context and a forthcoming volume in the Routledge series Modern Musicology and the College Classroom. As a fiddle player, Dr. Morgan-Ellis performs with various dance bands and teaches throughout the US South. She is also a professional cellist and avid singer across classical and folk styles.
