Helen Elizabeth Davies: Young musicians, gender and sexuality

https://crosstowntraffic2018.wordpres... This presentation took place as part of the conference Crosstown Traffic: Popular Music Theory and Practice, which was hosted by The University of Huddersfield from September 3 - 5 2018. This event combined the IASPM UK&Ireland Biennial Conference, the 13th Art of Record Production Conference (ARP), an ISMMS conference, and the additional participation of Dancecult. A recurrent theme within popular music studies has been discussion of how the field can integrate different disciplines and professions, for example exploring both music and its context; involving both practitioners and researchers; and encouraging interdisciplinary and collaborative work. Many different issues make such approaches challenging, and various different popular music focused subject organisations have developed somewhat independently of one another. This conference brought four such groups together, to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and encourage crosstalk. /// SUPPORT Popular Music Studies Research Group (PMSRG), University of Huddersfield https://research.hud.ac.uk/pmsrg/# Centre for Music, Culture and Identity (CMCI), University of Huddersfield https://research.hud.ac.uk/institutes...

Within this context, I have carried out some scoping research for a UK Music supported project investigating gender and sexuality related experiences and issues for performers of popular music aged 18-25, who are in education / training or early career. Central to the research are questions relating to the ways in which young musicians identify with, experience, construct, perform and negotiate gender and sexuality in their musical discourses and practices,. In addition, the project will explore issues and challenges relating to gender and sexuality that they face, as well as the roles of popular music higher education and music support organisations in addressing any issues and challenges. Preliminary research for the project includes interviews carried out with professionals working with young musicians, and a small-scale pilot study with final year undergraduate music students. This paper presents the data generated so far and discusses the ongoing research project.
