Call for Proposals: MayDay Colloquium 34

Facultad de Música de la Universidad Veracruzana

Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico

25 - 28 June 2023

Deadline: February 6th


The MayDay Group invites scholars, music makers, educators, and innovators from around the globe to submit proposals to this year’s colloquium centered on the following action ideal

 

Collaboration Across Cultures


We engage in mutually beneficial collaboration(s) and thoughtful inter-, intra-, cross-, and trans-cultural exchange(s) with musicians outside our own cultural practice(s) to further understanding of one another’s worldviews and related ways of being and doing.


Music and its modes of transmission take place in contexts created by the relationships that connect us to one another and to the myriad modes through which we construct knowledge. Acknowledging that power differentials are embedded in each inter-, intra-, cross-, and trans-cultural exchange, we commit to ethical ways of engagement, which support multiple modes of thinking and doing that lead to meaningful musical actions. Because we participate and collaborate in living cultural praxes, discussions of music’s meanings and educative values must concern not just sound itself and how we listen to it, but also how we engage with, respond to, and perpetuate music’s (de)humanizing functions.

Innovation In Music Conference

Innovation In Music celebrate their 10 year anniversary in 2023 and we are excited to be heading to Edinburgh Napier University for our 10th year conference.


The InMusic23 conference theme is ‘You’re not supposed to do that’ with a focus on misuse and reuse; reimagining and repositioning; hybridisation and recontextualisation; and creating unique pathways and perspectives in music production, performance, technology and business.


This theme is intended purely as inspiration for potential submissions and will represent a major strand of the conference. However, we also welcome submissions that are more broadly related to ‘innovation in music’. All submissions will be considered equally regardless of their topic or focus.


Proposals are also welcome for innovative or interactive performances, workshops and demonstrations appropriate to the conference scope. If you are interested in being involved in any way, please contact us at:

info@innovationinmusic.uk


​A Routledge book of the conference proceedings will be published after the event (subject to contract).


Innovation in Music therefore welcomes academics, creatives, producers, artists, industry professionals, technology developers and equipment manufacturers to come together and submit abstracts for consideration on the conference theme and a wider range of topics including:

​Innovative music creation and performance

* Music production: past, present and future

* Music technology innovation

* Innovation in songwriting

* Innovation in music business & the music industry

* Cross-disciplinary topics around music and innovation


Paper abstracts of 300-500 words will be reviewed for inclusion in the conference programme. After the conference, presenting authors will be expected to submit a full paper for peer review and inclusion in the book of proceedings.

Abstracts should be submitted via the online submission portal by 05 February 2023:

Xalapa, Mexico


DEADLINE EXTENDED to February 1st!


The 2023 conference organizers invite proposal submissions for papers and panels, on aspects of theory, philosophy, research and practice in the sociology of music education. The symposium welcomes research, scholarly investigations into, and critical engagement with a wide range of perspectives related to music education and sociology; research on various contexts, such as schools, universities, festivals, communities, the media, homes and the Internet. ‘Music education’ is understood to include all forms of teaching and learning music – formal, informal and non-formal and is inclusive to all traditions and genres of music engagement. The organizers welcome proposals that address educators’ and musicians’ reflections on their place in the world at this time of uncertainty and global unrest with the help of sociological theories, constructs, and/or concepts.


Submissions are encouraged from researchers at all stages of their careers, engaged in any type of research. Scholars focusing on music and musical practices outside of Euro-American traditions are especially encouraged.


Presentation Formats


1. Spoken Paper presentations will be 30 minutes in length (20 minutes presentation;10 minutes Q & A).

2. Panels of three to five presenters will be 50 minutes in length (40 minutes presentation; 10 minutes Discussion)

3. Interactive presentations. Present a topic and include group interaction and discussion. These are generally about 30 minutes in length. In your proposal, please describe the type of interaction you will include.

4. Lightning talks. These are presentations that focus on a single topic, example, idea, project, or technique. They differ substantially from a delivered paper in that they do not attempt to cover all aspects of their subject matter, but present one facet of an idea clearly and succinctly using graphics, images, text, and sounds. An effective lightning talk is insightful, inspiring, thought-provoking, useful, humorous, controversial, and/or enlightening. Lightning talks are no longer than 10 minutes.


Proposals of no more than 500 words (excluding references) that provide reviewers with sufficient information to understand the purpose, methodologies, results, and implications of scholarship of the research are welcome. Please exclude author name or any other identifying information from the proposal. Please submit your proposals as PDF documents to ISSMECFP2022@gmail.comThe extended deadline for proposals is February 1, 2023. 


Notification of acceptance after an anonymous review by the conference review panel will be sent by March 1, 2023. Please direct any questions you may have to Gareth Dylan Smith: gdsmith@bu.edu

Dialogues

International Association for the Study of Popular Music Canada

May 17 to May 21, 2023 

Laval University (Québec)

Updated Deadline: January 31st, 2023


The academic year 2022-2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the Faculty of Music at Université Laval. For the occasion, the faculty is organizing the Dialogues Conference, which will be held from May 17 to 21, 2023 at Université Laval, located in Quebec City. The conference, hybrid format, will host the principal Canadian research societies in music, teaching and music creation, as well as an international partner:



Focused on the theme, Dialogues, the conference invites participants to reflect together about the next century in research, teaching, music creation and composition.

While researchers, creators, students, and music practitioners are welcome to present on any aspect of their work, the conference especially welcomes presentations with a focus on three main objectives:



  1. To promote equity, diversity and inclusion, via an interdisciplinary, interuniversity, transregional, intermilieu and transcultural dialogue.
  2. To think collectively about the topics of equity, diversity and inclusion and their impact on the production, mobilization and application of new music knowledge.
  3. To contribute to the accessibility of scientific music production by creating meeting spaces for discussion and by bringing various people and domains together (research, education, artistic practice, creation and composition, general public).


In preparation for the conference, which will take place in-person and online, we invite the members of IASPM to present scientific communications, panels, poster presentations, workshops, roundtables, compositions, lecture-recitals or mini-concerts to the scientific committee. The Dialogues Conference will oversee the organization of many different plenary activities including the keynote conference, roundtables and musical events. 

Modalities to submit a proposition:


The proposals must be submitted online to the Dialogues Conference's website by January 31, 2023. The presenter must select their association and the right type of proposal from the ones listed below. The decision of the scientific committee will be announced on March 6, 2023. People whose proposals are selected must be members of their association before April 17, 2023.

Reflecting on Metaphors in Music and Sound  


Call for Contributions to Edited Volume


The proposed edited volume will map networks of metaphors that structure music discourse; trace their musicological, social, and political repercussions; grapple with current metaphors; and offer up new ones for consideration. We seek essays that dislodge the fixed, open the closed, and enliven the ossified metaphors of the music disciplines. 


Form

The volume will comprise a large number of very short (no more than 2,000 word) essays, each organized around a single metaphor. One metaphor may spawn multiple essays; in other words, no author will have “ownership” over any metaphor. We hope that the short format will allow readers to gather essays into constellations that will meet the needs of an undergraduate music theory class, serve as a framing device for a graduate seminar, or help a broad readership imagine new ways of articulating musical experiences and relationships. Keeping the essays at this length will also encourage authors to write in a clear, forthright tone that will be engaging and memorable for a wide range of readers.

 

Process 

Musicking and musical discourse take place within a social context; so does academic writing, although this is less commonly acknowledged. We are committed to supporting the community that will be formed through this project. While there are no requirements for social engagement with the editorial team, we will be offering a number of online and in-person workshops, conversations, and other events designed to bring the volume’s authors together. These events will take place under the auspices of PEER Lab, an organization dedicated to decolonizing data, methodology, and analysis through creative practice.


Prior to the deadline for submitting the initial indication of interest, we held two informational sessions on Tuesday, 13 December (6pm PST) and Friday, 13 January (10-11am PST). You can find a video of the second session at this link.


To indicate interest, please submit the following in no more than 400 words. You may integrate these elements into one narrative or keep them separate:


  • A short reflection on your experiences with metaphors in music
  • A short abstract 
  • A single sentence that embodies the energy and style of your proposed essay 


Submission link here.


The deadline to submit your letter of interest is February 1, 2023.

Disability Studies & Music Education Symposium: DSandME23

DEADLINE EXTENDED: Proposals due Friday, February 10, 2023


Theme: Disrupting Music Education: Disability as “an ingenious way to live”


Disability is not a brave struggle or courage in the face of adversity.

Disability is an art. It's an ingenious way to live. (Marcus, 1993)


The 3rd Biennial International Disability Studies and Music Education Symposium (DSandME23) explores how disability and lived experiences of disabled persons/persons with disabilities provide opportunities to productively disrupt music pedagogy (e.g., Shakespeare, 2014). Disruption functions as a way to become conscious of ableism within structures and practices in music education (Rathgeber & bell, forthcoming). As Neil Marcus reminds us, disability both necessitates creativity, and is itself a site of creativity (Marcus, 1993; Keifer-Boyd, 2017). Disruption, then, can be an invitation to reconsider, dream, and transform practices, environments, and relationships through disability-centered frameworks (Piepzna-Samarasinha, 2018; Sandahl, 2018). 


The DSandME23 Planning Committee seeks proposals in a wide range of genres, media, and formats to explore intersectional experiences of disabled persons in, through, and around music (Collins & Bilge, 2020; Lubet, 2011). The committee specifically seeks works that focus on the lived experiences of disabled musicians/musicians with disabilities examined through disability studies and adjacent intersectional frameworks. Proposals should connect to (critical) disability studies, DisCrit, disability justice, and similarly justice-oriented approaches. Embracing an overall ethic of Collective Access (Berne et. al., 2018), presenters are asked to construct sessions that incorporate a range of access practices.


DSandME23 will take place from April 27, 2023 through April 29, 2023. The symposium is free, with donations welcomed, and will take place online, with some satellite locations around the globe available for people interested in presenting or attending in-person. All sessions will feature ASL interpretation and live transcription. Please contact admin@disabilityandme.org with any questions and/or to confidentially discuss specific accessibility requirements that you may have. Complete this form to submit a proposal: https://bit.ly/DSandME23-Proposal


Specific Information:

Dates: April 27, 2023 to April 29, 2023

Possible formats for presenting may include:

  • Formal, scholarly presentations/papers followed by a question and answer session
  • Artist sessions and/or demonstrations of 20 minutes followed by facilitated discussion
  • Panel presentations consisting of several related papers or perspectives on a single topic
  • Extended facilitated discussion around a proposed topic or questions within a duration specified  by the proposing presenter.
