Kia ora ADA whānau, another upcoming opportunity to share creative research in Pōneke/Wellington end of this month:
*Tuning in the Pandemic - A Conference on the State of Music Research in Aotearoa* *November 26th and 27th – Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington, Pōneke/Wellington.* 2020 has had immeasurable impacts on the global music industry. On our own doorstep in Aotearoa, festivals have been cancelled, tours postponed, innumerable gigs called off, and local venues and galleries have reopened with fears over their ability to survive in both the long and short term. This precariousness is echoed in universities, where researchers reframe and renegotiate their means of engaging with and analysing the political economy of music and music-making. In this two day conference, co-hosted by Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington, we seek to showcase a wide-reaching cross-section of current research in music and sound studies, cultures, education, and music-related practices in Aotearoa. We invite proposals from all disciplines and fields--from thinkers, makers, producers, and performers--to emphasise the plurality and diversity of music and sound research in Aotearoa. This conference is thus a chance to gather and reconnect after a tumultuous year, and to collaboratively engage with the state of play of music research in Aotearoa. As universities and music sectors alike look to the future, we join as institutions to take stock of the historical and present conditions for music research in and on Aotearoa, and map where the role of such research lies beyond 2020. Please send proposals of 200 words, plus a title, and contact details to [email protected] by *November 6th, 2020*. If you require confirmation at an earlier date to meet funding requirements, please let us know. This event will take place in accordance with the Level 1 precautions of the New Zealand COVID Response Plan <https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcovid19.govt.nz%2Feveryday-life%2Fgatherings-and-events%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cgeoff.stahl%40vuw.ac.nz%7C8d61c6213f8d460f68c208d86bf49c6c%7Ccfe63e236951427e8683bb84dcf1d20c%7C0%7C0%7C637378045656350022&sdata=%2FA4pPdVSQLjBftfV8xIqOpGzEYRea%2FvxxEhSjIjJT0A%3D&reserved=0>.
