Hisama As an undergraduate music major interested in graduate study in music theory, I asked Joseph Straus, with whom I was taking an independent study in music theory and feminism, if he knew of any published work in feminist music theory. Going on the job market in music theory with a dissertation that en- gages with music outside of the canon using new methods of analysis can be a very stressful process, and being a person of color and a woman in fields that remain stubbornly male-dominated and very white compounds the already challenging experience of a campus interview.3 A recently launched graduate student-led initiative, Project Spectrum, aims to address problems of diversity in music studies, to “explore why many people mar- ginalized by their race/ethnicity, gender, and/or sexuality continue to have difficulty in finishing graduate degrees, attaining gainful employment, and receiving tenure within all fields of music studies” and “to develop concrete tools to inspire systematic change within these fields” through conferences and other activities (Project Spectrum 2018)4.	cache/currentmusicology-5365.pdf	txt/currentmusicology-5365.txt
