摘要:"Teaching Music History from Outside of the Closet" introduces unique teaching assignments that encourage students to explore and nurture their own voices in the study of music history. The author discusses the assignments in the context of her career, her journey of self-acceptance as a lesbian in the academy, and the struggle of self-acceptance and professional acceptance as a writer of scholarly texts--interdisciplinary studies of the Trecento--and fictional works, such as Fiammetta, an imitation of Boccaccio's Decameron.
