Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the demographic profile of doctoral music recipients by discipline from 1984 to 2022. Using sociological institutionalist and feminist institutionalist frameworks, I analyzed institution-level panel data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System ( N = 3,461) to examine the demographic characteristics of doctoral recipients in music education, music history/musicology, music theory/composition, and music performance. The number of doctoral completers in education, history/musicology, and theory/composition remained relatively stable over 4 decades. The number of doctoral completers in performance increased nearly fourfold, from 342 in 1984 to 1,253 in 2022. Compared to doctoral recipients across all academic disciplines, more music doctoral completers tended to be White. Music education and history/musicology recipients mirrored broader trends toward higher proportions of female doctoral recipients, but performance and theory/composition remained disproportionately male. Additionally, no music doctorates were ever awarded at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) despite the proportion of doctoral recipients at HBCUs in other disciplines increasing over the observed period. Results are discussed in the context of the formal and informal institutions that contribute to the homogenization of various music student and teacher populations across race/ethnicity and gender.

医生吗?1984年至2022年音乐博士学位获得者的人口统计资料

本研究的目的是检查1984年至2022年各学科音乐博士学位获得者的人口统计资料。利用社会学制度主义和女权主义制度主义框架，我分析了来自高等教育综合数据系统（N = 3,461）的机构层面的面板数据，以检查音乐教育、音乐史/音乐学、音乐理论/作曲和音乐表演博士学位获得者的人口统计学特征。40年来，教育学、历史学/音乐学和理论/作曲领域的博士学位结业人数保持相对稳定。完成学业的博士人数增加了近四倍，从1984年的342人增加到2022年的1253人。与所有学科的博士学位获得者相比，更多的音乐博士学位获得者往往是白人。音乐教育和历史/音乐学博士学位获得者反映了女性博士学位获得者比例更高的普遍趋势，但表演和理论/作曲博士学位获得者仍然不成比例地是男性。此外，历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）从未授予音乐博士学位，尽管HBCUs在其他学科的博士学位获得者比例在观察期间有所增加。结果在正式和非正式机构的背景下进行了讨论，这些机构有助于跨种族/民族和性别的各种音乐学生和教师群体的同质化。
