Call for Proposal Reviewers – 2026 AMS Annual Meeting

Deadline: 17 February 2026, 11:59 p.m. EST

The AMS is calling for volunteers to serve as proposal reviewers for the 2026 AMS Annual Meeting. Proposal reviewers help ensure an engaging and stimulating conference program by lending their expertise and experience to the assessment of proposed conference papers.

Eligibility: Current members of the AMS who are not submitting a proposal for the 2026 AMS Annual Meeting and who fall into one of the following eligible categories may serve as reviewers:

Eligible: Members who have a PhD in musicology or a related field.
Eligible: Members who are not enrolled as students in a graduate program, and who are working as creative, archival, research, or program professionals at cultural or education institutions that focus on musicology or related fields.
Not eligible: Members who are currently enrolled as students in a graduate or undergraduate degree program are not eligible to serve as reviewers.

If you have questions regarding your eligibility to serve as a reviewer, please contact the AMS Office at ams [at] amsmusicology.org.

Sign-up Deadline: The sign-up form closes on 17 February 2026. You must be signed into your AMS account and be a current member of the AMS to view the form. Volunteers will be accepted until all reviewer slots are filled. In general, volunteer reviewers will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. In certain cases, we may accept later-arriving volunteers that fill an area of expertise that is underrepresented in the reviewer pool.

Timeline: Reviews of assigned proposals must be completed between 27 February and 16 March 2026.
