American Music Partnership of Seattle
AMPS at the Simpson Center
The American Music Partnership of Seattle (AMPS) has come to live at the Simpson Center for the Humanities!
This Paul G. Allen Family Foundation-funded grant supports collaboration among Experience Music Project, KEXP Radio, and the University of Washington, leveraging the unique assets of each institution.
AMPS emphasizes and promotes the role of music in local communities and lives, stretches the capacity of all three participating organizations, and provides each organization with a reliable network for music resources. It creates an institutional link between different modes of music education—radio programming, exhibitions, scholarship, and performance—that facilitates their integration and enhances their impact.
Learn more about AMPS projects and initiatives, including Sound Documentaries (on KEXP), the Pop Conference (at EMP), and the Seattle Fandango Project.

Longino discussed chapters from a forthcoming monograph in which she analyzes the evidential structures and frameworks of inquiry that inform the contemporary sciences of human behavior.
