Popular music has long existed as a space for the sharing and fostering of marginalised voices and stories, despite its equal position as a hegemonic economic and cultural tool of capitalism and Western imperialism. This conference invites papers on popular music and popular music studies that consider or celebrate aspects of non-mainstream politics, identities, creatives and practices; as well as interrogating the power structures related to our field that emerge from patriarchal white, cisgender, heterosexual and ableist ideologies and values. We especially look for work around indigenous studies, gender and queer studies, disability studies and colonialism or any other intersectional perspectives, in relation to any aspect of popular music consumption, production and people.
Questions that might be considered include:
How are popular music artists engaging with topics and themes of raced, colonial and gendered power structures?
How does popular music sonically represent diverse voices and experiences?
What does diversity look like in popular music education?
How can popular music academia support and grow indigenous, queer and/or disabled student cohorts, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels?
What role can technology and social media play in enabling and promoting diverse and/or marginalised voices and practices in popular music fields?
What does diversity and diverse practices, methodologies and pedagogies mean to popular music scholars and practitioners?
How can we rethink and diversify popular music canons, including those codified by IASPM itself?
The committee will also accept abstracts on other topics relating to popular music.
