MMRN 1st Annual Conference
Monday 19th - Tuesday 20th April 2021 - hosted via Zoom
The inaugural MMRN Conference will hold a broad focus on the subject of Music and Adversity amid the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. Among the many challenges we have faced during this time, the question of the role of music in society has once again emerged. These questions are not new, as music has constantly faced adversity of many forms. Proposals are welcomed, but not limited to, themes such as the relationship between music and:
• Economic Adversity
• War and Conflict
• Physical and Mental Illness
• Dispersion and Migration
• Grief, Loss, and Trauma
Whilst we welcome submissions that discuss the impact of the pandemic on particular research projects, we would also like to hear of work that offers broader perspectives on more general music research.
We welcome submissions for individual papers, panels, and posters.
Deadline for submissions: Sunday 14th February 2021 (please send all enquiries and submissions to ).
