Prof. Dr. Evrim Hikmet Öğüt appointed as new Review Editor

We are pleased to announce that the Editorial Board of M&M recently appointed Evrim Hikmet Öğüt as our new Review Editor! Evrim is a full professor in the ethnomusicology program at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul. Her research and publications primarily focus on music in migratory contexts and the intersection of music/sound and politics. In 2020, she held a post-doctoral scholarship from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey and a visiting research position at City University of New York, where she conducted research on the Arab music scene.

Evrim’s article “The Short History of Syrian Street Music in Istanbul: Challenges and Potentials” was published in 2021 as part of M&M’s inaugural collection on “Music and Forced Migration.” We were delighted to hear in 2022 that this article won the ICTMD Best Article Award. If you haven’t read the article yet, now is a wonderful opportunity: https://doi.org/10.52411/mm.2021.4

We very much look forward to continuing our successful collaboration with Evrim in her new role at M&M!

We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Marko Kölbl, who completed his term of office after serving as M&M’s first Review Editor since 2021!
