Explores a selection of musical traditions in order to gain an appreciation of musical diversity in terms of aesthetics and meanings. Interrogates the concept of “world music”/"global music" as a way of sustaining binaries between the West and “the rest.” Studies the historical, political, economic, social, and aesthetic contexts of varied musical practices to offer students an opportunity to learn how music both reflects and shapes its cultural setting. Through varied pedagogical techniques, presents an informed and critical understanding of music as a meaningful form of human expression.
