Timothy L. Jackson

In 2020, he became controversial for editing a special issue of that journal containing articles criticizing Philip Ewell's plenary talk "Music Theory's White Racial Frame".

His dissertation, chaired by Professor Carl Schachter, was on "The Last Strauss: Studies of the Letzte Lieder".

[4] He is one of the founding editors of the Journal of Schenkerian Studies,[5] and has extensively published on late Romantic music, particularly on Bruckner, Brahms, and Sibelius.

The special issue was repudiated by the SMT's board of trustees,[6] and drew mainstream press coverage.

[7] Jackson's management of the journal was criticized by graduate students for "platforming racist sentiments," as well as a "lack of peer review, publication of an anonymous response, and clear lack of academic rigor".
