The Music Education Area at the University of Oregon will host the joint meeting of the LGBTQ Studies and Music Education Symposium and the MayDay Group Colloquium. This conference was originally scheduled for last summer, but with the onset of the pandemic, we decided to reschedule the conference for this summer, and move to a virtual platform. While we won’t be able to interact in person, one of the benefits of the new format is that access to conference materials is more flexible, and significantly less expensive. To that end, I invite all of you to register for our joint conference to be held via Zoom on June 29–July 1, 2021. 

Fee Structure

Standard Rate (i.e., non-student): $65

Graduate Student: $20

Undergraduate Student: $10

You’ll notice the extremely economical rate for students. This conference represents a unique opportunity for us to interact with music educators across the world as they visit Oregon virtually.

Please consider attending, and sending this information to any interested parties. Feel free to contact me should you have any questions. I hope to see you this summer!
