No. It accounts for.my splitting headache.
Are you sure it's not just the voices in your head trying to get you to review your grammar and punctuation before you hit the "post" button?
Phone punctuation is allowed to be sloppy.
If you ever catch me making mistakes on.a PC , then you can spout your dribble.

Geez. Why does almost every thread these days have to be ruined with threatened guys moaning about the liberal, feminist, SJW warrior agenda? It's getting old fellas. Can't we just talk about the music?
This dissertation (while I've not been able to read it all yet) seems quite good to me and is mostly about the music. It does address the dominant mostly white, mostly male power structure which some seem to want to deny exists while at the same time clinging to it tenaciously and whining that all these women are being mean. But I don't think it concentrates on it to an unwarranted degree nor is at all biased or bigoted.
Some of you overly-sensitive dinosaurs are going to get another thread locked with this crap.
Edited to remove a needless insult on my part. Sorry.

Rather than speculating about belief systems, I prefer to read an author's words to discover their conclusions. If those commenting haven't read it, they're just typing. (I'm only on page 20 of the dissertation so too early to comment - if I don't finish, I won't.)

I looked through the pdf, and I don't see much in there about Star Trek music. Worse, what I did see about the music wasn't even accurate. The author wants to talk about race and gender, and "Star Trek music" is just the pretext for that.
Breaking news: white males dominated action adventure TV in the 1960s. And the music supported the overall storytelling. That means the music was... wait for it... racist!

Well, any dissertation which uses the original DVDs for musical reference will have inaccuracies.

Why do so many threads seem to degenerate like this now, can't we leave the divisive politics elsewhere and have a bit more positivity around here?

It looks like a fascinating analysis of musical characterization--less about the nuts and bolts of scoring and more about what stylistic choices were made to illustrate various characters, settings, situations, etc. This is obviously bolstered by the heavy cultural-stereotypes-as-tropes common in the stories of the period.
Sad how many of you are focusing on the lens the researcher used and not what she was looking at.

Some of us just don't think identity politics and artistic censorship advance the cause of social justice.
Nothing to do with being anti- anyone.
As for the rest of them.....

We can joke, but she didn't take a real interest in Star Trek music, or even music as such. That was just the hook to hang her ideology on. And who can blame her, when advancing that ideology is the easiest way to become a PhD now?

Academia is a world unto itself. Intellectuals talking to other intellectuals in a language only they understand.
What results is wirtless9.
Politics is just a sideshow.
