PUBLIC MUSICOLOGY INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
Organized by the Society for Musicology in Ireland
VENUE DETAILS:
The Kevin Barry Recital Room
National Concert Hall, Dublin
Wednesday 26 April 2017
Time: 08.30-18.30
This international one-day symposium on Public Musicology, organized by the Society for Musicology in Ireland, is in accordance with the aims of that society: to nurture and highlight the role of music in education and broader society on a national and international platform. The aim of this symposium is to ask how musicology relates to the ‘public voice’, the voice of culture at large. At a time when the government is calling for a new level of connectedness between higher education and wider society, academics are under increasing pressure to address this issue of civic engagement. Additionally, as many of our doctoral graduates do not follow an academic career path, there is an urgent need to offer alternative pathways to graduate students forging a career beyond the academy.
