Sustainability through Innovation in the Gateway of the EU: CIBER Visit to Ireland 2024
Full text linkThis paper explores a 7-day trip to Ireland undertaken by professors who came from more than a dozen universities, including those in marketing, accounting, organizational psychology and international business. This was a faculty development trip sponsored by FIU’s Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), housed at FIU Business, and Loyola Marymount University’s CIBER.
Ireland occupies a particularly strategic position in the European economy. Northern Ireland is sill a part of Great Britain, and consequently left the European Union in 2020(“Brexit”), while Ireland remains a part of the European Union (EU). The trip was themed “Sustainability through Innovation in the Gateway of the EU,” in May 2024 and included visits to the University of Galway and Trinity University in Ireland, and Queen’s University in Northern Ireland. A panel in Galway featured Aerogen, Enterprise Ireland, Industrial Development Authority and the American Chamber of Commerce.
During the seven-day trip, the group visited Accenture consulting form, Medtronics, Signify Health (owned by CVS) and Guinness, a brewery which predates the nation of Ireland. The faculty development trip included sops in Dublin on Ireland’s Eas Coas, Galway on Ireland’s Wes Coast, the small historic village of Athlone in rural Ireland and Belfast in Northern Ireland

Full text linkRichard Taruskin and the Art of Judging Each Other
Full text linkCombining personal reminiscence and reflections on a professional life as an academic, this essay deals with the challenges of maintaining personal friendships while judging each other\u27s work with integrity and acuity. It is in the nature of our business that we are evaluated by our most brilliant and successful colleagues. In this case, because of Richard Taruskin’s honesty and his unsparing commitment to certain intellectual standards, the challenge was magnified
Taruskin’s Dichotomies: Beyond Text and Act
Full text linkRichard Taruskin’s brilliant rhetoric sometimes led him to overly categorical generalizations. One notable example is his four-stage “genealogy of musical morals,” summarizing the history of music’s objectification as “art” through literacy, printing, the birth of transcendent and autonomous art, and recording. Similarly, Taruskin’s subtle bias against the British early music scene was often camouflaged under various generalized dichotomies such as “straight-style versus crooked-style.”
Taruskin’s views, initially seen in CD reviews and newspaper columns, gained enduring influence through their repackaging in Text and Act. This work also impacted John Butt’s Playing with History, where Taruskin played a key role in summarizing the historical-performance debate. Butt acknowledged that Taruskin’s work “made future debate possible and has entirely reformulated the issues concerned with the discussion of HIP.” It is intriguing to speculate on Taruskin’s potential reactions to recent developments, such as AI’s place in his “genealogy of musical morals.”
Problems identified by Taruskin in the 1980s manifest differently today. There is a reduced tension between musicologists and performers, but this separation exists nonetheless and is not always beneficial. A growing sentiment among new early-music practitioners advocates for renewed collaboration between musicologists and performers. As the trend toward training scholar-performers gains momentum, it may reintroduce historical tensions, highlighting the complex relationship between these two realms
“It Takes a Big Thrust to Destabilize an Entrenched Practice”: On Taruskin and the Western Traditions
Full text linkThis memorial essay begins with a brief appreciation of Richard Taruskin’s The Oxford History of Western Music and its critical reception (Susan McClary, Charles Rosen). It continues with comments on the early stages of his career, noting his strategic pincer movement, that is, a pivot from his early research on Russian operas—to his 1980 groundbreaking JAMS article on Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring on the one hand, and a source reading book (Weiss-Taruskin, 1984) on the other. Both became essential for launching his career, and for our field. I then delve into several of Taruskin’s core ideas—about current and past musicology—that he shared in his 2015 keynote presentation at a conference celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Department of Musicology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (which I attended). I intertwine these ideas with a critical re-look at correspondence that he and I shared in 2021. I appreciate his statement regarding his perception of changes in musicology since 2019 (cited in the title of this essay; on the Ewell-Jackson controversy on Schenker), and I challenge a contentious statement that he made to me, relating to my identity as a Mizrahi woman and a person of color: a casual, personal comment that illuminates his brilliance, and perhaps a dull spot or two. These points float on the foreground of this essay. In the background lie themes that I regard as most important for my research: the immense influence that Taruskin’s oeuvre has had on my work and the specific impact of his 1997 Defining Russia Musically on my writing on nationalism in Israeli art music, and my deep admiration and gratitude to the man and his work

Building Ethical Communities of Practice in Archival Data Curation
No full textThe presentation will focus on the outcomes of an NEH-funded project and resulting white paper. The purpose of this project is to establish a community of practice dedicated to ethics-driven, care-based data curation of historical materials, guided by librarians, archivists, and historians. Using the Dana A. Dorsey Collection, the project explores broad community networks involved in real estate and community building, and creates open datasets illuminating historical patterns of structural racism. By developing transparent, inclusive methodologies, we provide a replicable framework for ethical data handling, enhancing research access and accountability toward marginalized communities represented in archival materials. This work contributes to the field of Digital Humanities by applying critical, interdisciplinary methods to transform historical documents into open, analyzable data for scholarly and public engagement
Research Data Services at FIU Libraries: Empowering Researchers through Comprehensive Data Management Solutions
No full textThis presentation showcases the FIU Data Repository, an essential resource powered by Dataverse that helps researchers effectively manage their data throughout the research lifecycle. This resource enables scholars to preserve their work, receive proper citation credit, and meet funding requirements while adhering to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
The repository supports the full research process: organizing data during active research, facilitating publication with DOI assignment, and increasing visibility of research outputs after publication. By establishing consistent metadata standards and preservation protocols, it transforms individual research projects into widely accessible knowledge resources. Researchers across FIU may use the Data Repository to enhance research workflows, increase the visibility of findings, secure data for long-term access, and expand collaborative networks. For those working with spreadsheets, conducting surveys, analyzing GIS data, or developing code, the FIU Data Repository offers valuable tools that can elevate research profiles and help researchers make a greater scholarly impact
