The William A. Chaney Lecture in the Humanities will be presented by
Susan McClary, Professor of Musicology at UCLA. McClary's
feminist-based work has had a dramatic impact on the musicological
world, challenging conventional approaches to music and opening new
paths of interpretation.
McClary has delivered the Bloch Lectures at Berkeley, the Grout Lecture
at Cornell, the Hooker Lectures at McMaster, the Rayson Huang Lecture in
Hong Kong, the Alfred Hook Lecture at University of Sydney, the Centre
CATH Lectures in Leeds, and the Faculty Research Lecture at UCLA; she
held residencies throughout the United States as a Phi Beta Kappa
Visiting Scholar in 1999-2000, and she served as UCLA's Clark Professor
in 2005. She received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1995. Her
work has been translated into at least twelve languages.
