[ecrea] Shifting Ground: A Symposium on Music and Publishing, April 11th, Oxford Brookes University.

Oxford Brookes’ Popular Music Research Unit, in association with The 
Royal Musical Association and The Oxford International Centre for 
Publishing Studies, warmly invites you to attend Shifting Ground: A 
Symposium on Music and Publishing on Monday April 11th from 9:00 am at 
Oxford Brookes University.


This event brings together academics, journalists and publishers to 
explore this previously neglected area through a combination of 
presentations and discussion sessions, exploring the complementary 
themes of the publishing /of/ music and publishing /on/ music.  The day 
will feature themed paper sessions, a keynote presentation from Stephen 
Navin, Chief Executive of the Music Publishing Association, a discussion 
panel of journalists featuring Fiona Maddocks, Alyn Shipton and Barney 
Hoskyns focusing on writing about classical, jazz and popular music and 
will end with a round table discussion featuring Dr Dai Griffiths 
(Brookes), Dr Lee Marshall (Bristol) and Dr Simon Warner (Leeds) to 
consider future directions of research in this area.

Please note that places for the event are limited, and advance online 
registration and payment (£10, concessions available for students and 
RMA members) are required, details of which can be accessed through the 
website <http://ah.brookes.ac.uk/conference/shifting_ground_2011/>.  
Registration will close on 3^rd April 2011 or when the event is full, 
whichever is earlier.
