The Oxford Brookes Popular Music Research Unit (PMRU) and OxPAN (the Oxford Pop Academics Network) present:
A Postgraduate Popular Music Study Day
Richard Hamilton Building, Oxford Brookes University
Thursday 25 May 2017, 10.00am-5.00pm
Free to attend; all welcome
The Oxford Brookes Popular Music Research Unit and the Oxford Pop Academics Network are holding a postgraduate study day at Oxford Brookes on Thursday 25th May 2017 for universities regional to the Oxford area. The day will feature paper sessions presented by students, and a discussion panel on syncing.
The panel will bring together experts from academia and the music industry to discuss syncing – the process of connecting a musical composition with a moving picture. The topic continues the 'Shifting Ground' theme of Oxford Brookes' PMRU group (see https://pmrubrookes.wordpress.com/activities/). Dr Dai Griffiths (Brookes) will introduce the Study Day and also present Shifting Ground’s current research in the area of music and copyright.
This Study Day is a fantastic opportunity for students from across the region to present their current research, meet and network with fellow students and academics, and watch academics and music industry professionals discuss issues current to popular music studies and the music industry.
- Call for Papers
We invite submissions from both PhD and Masters-level researchers on any aspect of popular music.
All papers will be of 20 minutes duration, and a 10-minute question and answer session will follow each presentation.
