Improving representation for continued progress and a hopeful vision of the future
Music history has long been shaped by selective narratives, leaving many voices unheard or overlooked. This panel discussion explores how and why these gaps exist and the strides that are being made to address them and bring underrepresented musicians back into the score.
Our world-class music theory experts will examine:
- Historical and structural factors that have contributed to the exclusion of women and marginalised musicians – from biases in research and archives to broader influences such as race, class, and gender
- The growing body of work focused on rediscovering and re-evaluating these contributions
- Methods and approaches that are reshaping the field
- The impact of this work today, including how it is influencing teaching, scholarship, and the wider music landscape
Created for researchers, educators, students, and music lovers alike, this session offers an illuminating and engaging introduction to a vital and evolving area of music research.
There will be time for questions from the audience.
The event will be recorded, and all registrants will be notified once the recording is available for viewing. Certificates will be provided for those who attend for at least 70% of the session.
