Beverley Diamond – who holds the Canada Research Chair in Traditional Music and Ethnomusicology at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland – will present a series of lectures Wed. and Thurs, March 29 and 30, on the University of Regina campus.
Diamond comes to Regina as a visiting distinguished professor, sponsored by the Faculty of Fine Arts and Department of Music at the University of Regina, along with the Department of Indian Fine Arts at First Nations University of Canada. She has held full-time teaching positions at York, McGill, and Queen’s Universities. Since the early 1970s, she has worked extensively in Inuit and First Nations communities in the Northwest Territories, Labrador, Quebec, and Ontario.

Diamond is deeply committed to the discipline of ethnomusicology in Canada and is committed to ensuring that the discipline “remains an exciting and socially relevant field of study. Central to her work are the relationships of music to cultural identity.
