Call for Papers

Music Research Today, Swedish Society for Music Research.

Music Research Today brings music researchers in all disciplines together. This year's conference is hosted by the School of Music, Theatre and Art at Örebro University. The conference will take place on October 22nd - 24th, starting and ending at lunch. The conference welcomes contributions on any topic related to research in musicology, music pedagogy, artistic research in music, music theory, music therapy, music psychology and music-related research in other disciplines. The conference particularly welcomes contributions and participation from doctoral students.

Music and Politics

What might be the role of music and music research in the formation of a more sustainable society in seeking to address the challenges of war, climate change, and populism? In the present day, Swedish music life is affected by shifting governmental policies. How does music research address these perspectives, challenges and concerns? At the same time, governmental research policies are being revised and reviewed. How are our research disciplines and institutions affected? Possible nodes of connection between music and politics can be found at any end of the spectrum, between the global and the local, across individual and institutional perspectives. The conference seeks to address these perspectives across music research disciplines, and with a specially invited panel of actors in music institutions, research and cultural policy.

In this strand in the call for papers, thematic approaches may include, but are not limited to, any of the following perspectives:

music as a form for political expression, e.g. music and activism, populism, identity, musical diplomacy

music policy (in Sweden and abroad)

contexts and discourses: historical and sociological perspectives

inclusion, intersectionality, diversity and decolonialisation

The Swedish Society for Music Research (SSM) will perform a peer review of submitted abstracts. The society’s journal, Swedish Journal of Music research, is creating a section in this year’s issue related to the conference’s main theme. SJM encourages all those presenting to develop their conference papers into articles for submission to the journal for separate peer review and potential publication.

This year’s conference will have two keynote speakers: David Hebert and Melanie Schiller.
