Development of a mobile-friendly site and new humanities content focused on three musical traditions.

Global Jukebox Journeys link songs, places and cultures with history and sociocultural change through virtual narratives designed by scholars and community experts. Through the Discovery grant, we intend to plan for a mobile-friendly version of Journeys exploring the musical roots and transformations of African American, Ashkenazi Jewish American, and Anglo-American music in historical and cultural context as initial featured content for the mobile version of the Global Jukebox website, through consultation with a team of ethnomusicology, history and digital technology consultants, culminating in the creation of a design document including narratives, technical specifications, and wireframes.
