This panel brings together Jewish Music scholars, broadly defined, to discuss how they have forged career paths outside of the traditional tenure track system of academia and ways in which Jewish Music scholars can expand their professional development opportunities working in the field. The session will include remarks from our panelists and then an open discussion on such topics as networking, advising students on multiple career paths, creating and taking advantage of opportunities within the field of Jewish Music Studies, and how our study group can provide resources and support for scholars in a variety of Jewish Music Studies career positions.
