The Center for Ethnomusicology's community welcomes all our guests!

LOCATION INFORMATION: All events will be held in the Schapiro Center for Engineering and Physical Science Research (CEPSR) on Columbia University's Morningside Campus. All of the paper presentations as well as the Saturday-night concert will be held in Davis Auditorium (Room 412, but it's on the ground floor), and the lunch-time film screening will be held in the same building, downstairs in the Sindeband Conference Room (Room 414). Getting to campus using public transportation is easy. The 1 train stops at 116th Street, just outside the Columbia gates. The M60 bus from LaGuardia Airport, the M104 bus, and the M4 bus also all stop outside the gates. This link:

shows Schapiro highlighted among other buildings on campus. It is worth pointing out that Schapiro is NOT accessible from 120th Street. To get to the building, you will have to enter the campus at 116th Street and Broadway or 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. From either of these entrances, walk towards the middle of campus and then turn north up the stairs, towards the domed building (Low Library). You'll have to walk around Low and then around the building behind it (Uris). Walk all the way past Uris to the Schapiro Center. There are maps and signs all over campus.
