Translating the Field explores the multilingual intersections of music, sound, performance, and ethnography. An area often ignored in disciplinary critique, theoretical stances, and methodological training, translation plays a continual—if often unexamined—role in our research, our relationship with the communities with which we collaborate, and the publication and reception of our work.

Yevgeniy Sharlat on Composition research
How traditionally unserious instruments are making a serious splash with Sharlat's works.
Conducting research in a field like music composition bears little resemblance to most people’s understanding of what academic research “should” look like. Spend five minutes with Yevgeniy Sharlat, associate professor of composition at the Butler School of Music, and you’ll quickly learn that not all researchers wear lab coats. And, if Sharlat’s colleagues and students are anything to go by, not all heroes wear capes either.
