Call for papers for a special issue titled Progressive Methods in Popular Music Education
The Progressive Methods in Popular Music Education Symposium held at the University of Western Ontario June 8-9th 2018 brought together researchers, practitioners and others concerned with viewing popular music education through a progressive lens. A call for papers is now made for a special issue of the Journal of Popular Music Education with articles deriving from this symposium. The Journal of Popular Music Education is a peer-reviewed journal published by Intellect. It seeks to define, delimit, debunk, disseminate, and disrupt practice and discourse in and around popular music education. Popular music education takes place at the intersections of identity realization, learning, teaching, enculturation, entrepreneurship, creativity, a global multimedia industry, and innumerable instances of music making as leisure. Through drawing together diverse, rigorous scholarship concerning learning in, through and about popular music worldwide, JPME seeks to identify, probe and problematize key issues in this vibrant, evolving field. Papers are welcomed within and around the symposium themes below: Diversity and Inclusion • Engagement and inclusion of marginalized and at risk youth in popular music education programs (including but not restricted to FNMI and LGBTQ youth) • Avoiding replication of gender role and sexual identity stereotypes, reinforcements and inequities
Music education and popular music employment • Preparing young people to work in the popular music industry • School music education • Higher education • Teacher preparation • Digitally mediated musicianship
Popular music, culture and society • Considerations for education of popular music’s position as structural, hegemonic, market driven cultural commodity and counter/non hegemonic, agentic expressive medium • Implications for popular music education of concepts such as cultural capital, stratification, omnivorousness and gentrification • Contextualizing concepts of democracy, social justice and egalitarianism within popular music education Scholarship from and across all relevant research methods and disciplines is welcome. Please submit manuscripts of between 6,000 and 8,000 words (double-spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12, including references) by December 1, 2018 for the attention of guest editors Ruth Wright, Susan O’Neill and Patrick Schmidt via the JPME website.
