The British Forum for Ethnomusicology (BFE) invites expressions of interest from institutions interested in hosting the BFE Annual and One-Day Conferences in 2022 and 2023.

Annual Conferences 2022 and 2023

BFE Annual Conferences run for four days (from Thursday to Sunday) and are usually held in April during the Easter vacation period. Annual Conferences typically have a theme, although delegates may present research on any subject of interest to ethnomusicologists. A summary of past Annual Conferences can be found at https://bfe.org.uk/conference-archive-annual.

One-Day Conferences 2022 and 2023

BFE One-Day Conferences are usually held on Saturdays in November (although late October and early December are also possibilities). They are more narrowly themed than Annual Conferences and focus on specific, sometimes emerging, areas of ethnomusicologicial enquiry. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. A summary of past One-Day Conferences can be found at https://bfe.org.uk/conference-archive-one-day.
