Dear Friends, Looking ahead to next year's RMA conference in Manchester (see CfP below), I'm wondering if anyone has ideas about what kind of panel the RMA LGBTQ Study Group should host next year. In the past, the RMA LGBTQ SG has held panels on ‘Music and Musical Expression in LGBTQ+ Activism’ (Liverpool 2017) and 'LGBTQ+ Mental Health in University Music Departments' (Bristol 2018). I had an idea, but it's not fully formed, so feel free to voice your opinions in favour or against. I'm looking for panelists who would have interest/knowledge in talking about queer safe spaces, perhaps relating the violence from Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester (2017) to the Pulse nightclub attack (2016) to queer music scholarship, for example, Brian Currid's timeless essay 'We are family' in *Cruising the Performative*, eds. Case, Brett, and Foster (1995) or, more recently, Jodie Taylor's work on 'Scenes and Sexualities'. I welcome any suggestions for traditional paper-based panels or for a panel with a non-conventional format *by October 17, 2018*, so that we have time to prepare the abstract by the November deadline. All my best, Danielle ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: AMS <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 3:57 PM Subject: CFP: Royal Musical Association, Manchester, Sep 2019 To: [log in to unmask] RMA Annual Conference: Manchester, UK 2019 Call for Proposals The 55th Annual Conference of the UK Royal Musical Association will be hosted jointly by the University of Manchester and the Royal Northern College of Music, between *Wednesday 11 and Friday 13 September 2019*.
