Well... speaking of women and music. Pauline posted THIS to the BA-NEWMUS mailing list just this weekend... Synchronicity... WOW! Best, -Miko *------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Mammaroma@aol.com Message-ID: <c0.cded6c7.2764e0dc@aol.com> Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2000 08:36:28 EST Subject: [BA-NEWMUS:2310] BA-NEWMUS-from Pauline Oliveras To: "Bay Area New Music Discussion List" <ba-newmus@eartha.mills.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Since 1996 when I began teaching in the graduate composition program at Mills College I have been alarmed at the ratio of male to female candidates in composition and technology. My seminars typically have eleven men and two women. The majority of graduates in Music at Mills are men and this is a women's college. It is difficult for me to understand why women are not applying in greater numbers to this program. I would appreciate feedback and suggestions on this situation and I would love to see more women in composition and technology here at Mills. Please pass this announcement along to those that might be interested.
