JISCMail - LGBTQ-MUSIC Archives

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

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. Full details are given on the conference website: https://www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/music/connect/events/rma2019/.

The conference seeks to celebrate the interface between performance, musicology and composition, and we are therefore keen to encourage proposals for presentations that represent the full range of current international scholarly and creative research in music, including:

Individual Papers (20 minutes)
Themed sessions of 3–4 papers (90 minutes)
Lecture-recitals (30 minutes)
Poster presentations
Practice-based research workshops (90 minutes)
Acoustic, electroacoustic or mixed-media compositions (up to 10 minutes)

The Programme Committee welcomes proposals from both established scholars and practitioners and from early-career researchers. Any individual may submit one proposal; RMA membership is not a prerequisite for submission.

All proposals must be submitted via the online proposal submission form by 5 p.m. on Thursday 15 November 2018. Details of the procedures to be followed for the different types of submission can be found at https://www.alc.manchester.ac.uk/music/connect/events/rma2019/call-for-proposals/.
