This article examines a corpus of Burmese-language anti-Muslim hate songs archived on YouTube. Burma/Myanmar is the site of recent genocidal violence perpetrated against Muslims, and these songs are part of the hate speech campaign that undergirds this violence. Using the definition of incitement articulated by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the article shows that the lyrics of these songs constitute incitement to violence. Further, the comments written by YouTube listeners provide evidence that the songs provoke additional dehumanizing speech. The songs and their creators are therefore complicit in the recent violent persecution of Muslims in Myanmar.

This article examines the space-making practices of an electronic music scene in Skopje, Macedonia, between 2011 and 2014. It argues that such practices can make spaces for “alternative belonging,” enabling individuals and groups to diverge from the powerful without open resistance. The article builds on ethnomusicological literature on how space is mediated by music and sound in ways that are generative and transformative, suggesting that understanding agency as distributed across numerous positionalities assists in thinking beyond dichotomous dominance-resistance frameworks.

Poetry writing can be a useful and effective tool in managing the challenging experiences of fieldwork, performing, writing, and teaching. As an act of creation, writing poetry transgresses the sense that legitimate ethnographic work must be rendered as prose. Instead, poetry serves as a powerful way to understand the self and one's experiences in context, particularly as part of the exploratory liminal stage between experience and publication. Poetry writing also complicates the idea that one's fieldwork (or teaching) is linear, objective, sequential, and falls neatly into a specific format when we try to render it in writing. In this article, examples of memory, fieldwork, and teaching all connect to moments of creation and, in turn, closer understanding.

Ethnomusicologists and Indian musicologists have overwhelmingly studied Hindustani music as classical music, focusing on khyal, dhrupad, and instrumental solo, and its transmission in lineages. In my research, rather than following genre, I followed people, a ground-up method that equates to basic principles of practice theory. Focusing on the extended family of the Rampur-Sahaswan gharana, known for khyal, I looked for musicians regardless of the kind of music they were doing. This brought numerous “hidden musicians” (Finnegan 1989) and genres into view as an integral part of a “classical” lineage: singers of ghazal, qawwali, fusion, or commercial music. The greatest musicians of the past were in fact not “classical” ones, but versatile or chaumukhi artistes who sang “all genres.” My approach is also historical and political-economic, focusing on the lives and livelihoods of musicians and mobility. This enables me to map Hindustani music not just in the famous centers where classical music flourishes today, but in smaller cities and towns. Inspired in particular by Erik Wolf's (1982) history of capitalism, which revealed cultures and societies as interrelated and unbounded, I explore the shifts in and connections of centers and peripheries of Hindustani music—for example, the key role played by semi-classical and light genres in sustaining classical music. I critique genre as a frame for research, showing it as contributing to an ongoing process of classicizing Hindustani music. I show Hindustani music, rather, to be a sprawling, unbounded, but organically interconnected phenomenon created by people and their navigation of life's opportunities, resources, and structures.

A new drug for pancreatic cancer takes the stage for clinical trials, thanks to the Masonic Cancer Center experts who developed it What does it take to get to that moment in a clinic when a doctor gives a patient a compound never before used in modern medicine? The story of Minnelide, an investigational drug for pancreatic cancer patients now in a Phase IA clinical trial at the University of Minnesota, illustrates just how complex and exhilarating that journey can be. " What we did here with Minnelide, we did at the speed of light, " says Gunda Georg, Ph.D., director of the College of Pharmacy's Institute for Therapeutics Discovery and Development (ITDD) and a member of the Masonic Cancer Center. " Going from drug design to clinical trial in just five years is almost unheard of. Ten years is more typical. " While Georg played a key role, the Minnelide team stretched across campus and beyond, encompassing laboratory investigators, veterinarians, clinical physicians, attorneys, administrators, philanthropists … the group would need a pretty big stage if they all gathered together. " Each person has their own core area of expertise, " says Georg, " but bring them all together, and you can do powerful things. " continued on page 2
