Dr. John McCluskey, chair of music, theater and dance at Shorter University, will present a guest lecture on musical segregation in American college football tonight, March 2, at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn.
A Lee alumnus, he bases his lecture on his recently completed dissertation, “This Is Ghetto Row: Musical Segregation in American College Football,” highlighting the type of music university marketing departments allot time for players to listen to before a game, how marketing and athletic departments employ music as a means of intentionally misrepresenting their institution to high school recruits and how the marching band continues to be the musical embodiment of college football.
The program will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Room 104 of the Humanities Center, 1250 Parker St.
