Abstract :In the past two decades, ethnomusicologists have studied music traditions worldwide, developing theories about the sustainability of music ecosystems (Schippers 2015, 2016). Others applied these models to examine the factors influencing the success or failure of music centres established in post-conflict zones with the aim of promoting the teaching, learning, and communal practice of music, in order to support the coherence of societies torn apart by conflict (Howell 2017, 2024). In this article, I examine the applied ethnomusicological interventions initiated by me and other scholars at the Highland Institute in Kohima and other academic institutions in Nagaland through the lenses of Schippers’ and Howell’s theory models. I argue that both models are useful tools to examine applied ethnomusicological interventions aimed at promoting ethnomusicological research at academic institutions in post-conflict zones, as happened in the case of our interventions at the Highland Institute. Keywords: South Asia, post-conflict zones, Indigenous performing arts, music sustainability, applied ethnomusicology.
Keywords : Güney Asya, çatışma sonrası bölgeler, Yerli sahne sanatları, müzik sürdürülebilirliği, uygulamalı etnomüzikoloji
