IV.5 Diversity and Inclusion Committee

IV.5.1. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee is charged with encouraging diverse, inclusive, and equitable outcomes for official activities of the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music. Its aim is to provide support for SSCM members from underrepresented groups (including BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or those with disabilities). It also aims to support efforts to broaden the research methods of our field to include scholarship on underrepresented topics, especially those related to marginalized identities and global perspectives. It seeks to enhance networks of support and pipelines of diversity to further these goals.

IV.5.2 The Diversity and Inclusion Committee will be led by a Chair and a Co-Chair. The Vice President of the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music will serve as Chair; the Co-Chair will be selected by the President and Vice President of the Society from experienced members of the committee, for a two-year term. The Chair will bring new initiatives to the Governing Board for approval.
