Congratulations to CUNY Ethnomusicology PhD Student Rajeswari Ranganathan, who will be presenting a paper entitled “Emergence of an Ecumene: Transnational Encounters in South Indian Carnatic Music” at the Society for Ethnomusicology conference this year! Her paper discusses recent transnational developments in South Indian Carnatic music, including its decentralized nature and suggests the emergence of a global ecumene. Of particular interest are the second-generation Indian diaspora in the United States settling in India as professional Carnatic musicians, and the expanding Carnatic music scenes in the diaspora.
