# Listening to Divergent Histories through Canadian Music

Canadian ethnomusicologist Beverley Diamond reflects on how her approaches to documenting culture have shifted over 50 years, echoing not only changes in the academic realm but changes in her relations with Indigenous and other culturally diverse communities. She suggests that her approach may align with differences between Canadian and American institutions more generally, given such factors as two official languages and multiple forms of both settler and Indigenous governance in Canada. Her work also illustrates changes in the field of ethnomusicology, more generally, from extractionist research to dialogic conversations with Indigenous and other communities.
