Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Open Borders. The Future of Music Research », Univ. of Adelaide, 29 novembre- 2 décembre 2023.

« The Musicological Society of Australia is committed to advancing academic and public understanding and appreciation of music, an activity and resource that is fundamental to the wellbeing of individuals and communities, and reaches into all areas of life. Accordingly, for the 2023 National Conference musicians of all kinds are invited to reflect on their musical practice, and researchers from all fields of study invited to share their research into any aspect of music.

We encourage contributions from musicologists, composers, performers, musictheorists, music broadcasters, music critics and anyone else with an informed interest in the creation, practice, theory, reception, and appreciation of music. We also encourage presentation of music-related research in other fields including education, sociology, literature, history, art, film, games, psychology, medicine, Indigenous studies, anthropology, and religion.

Proposals of up to 250 words for 20 minute presentations, or pre-formed panels of 90 minutes (including discussion), should be submitted by 30 June 2023 to msaconference2023adelaide -at- gmail.com.

All presenters must be current financial members of the MSA at the time of registering for the conference. The MSA will provide travel grants to assist student delegates to attend, and will welcome applications once the program committee has sent out approvals. Travel assistance and at least one full bursary will also be available for Indigenous presenters.

Multiple cash prizes will be awarded for the best paper presentations by postgraduate delegates; a separate cash prize will be awarded for best presentation at the Indigenous symposium. »
