[ecrea] Oxford Brookes PMRU and OxPAN Postgraduate Popular Music Study Day

The Oxford Brookes Popular Music Research Unit (PMRU) and OxPAN (the 
Oxford Pop Academics Network) present:
A Postgraduate Popular Music Study Day

Richard Hamilton Building, Oxford Brookes University

Thursday 25 May 2017, 09.30am - 4.30pm

Free to attend; all welcome


Oxford Brookes’ PMRU and OxPAN are holding a postgraduate study day at 
Oxford Brookes on Thursday 25th May 2017 particularly aimed at 
universities regional to the Oxford area but open to all. The day will 
feature paper sessions presented by local students, and a discussion panel.


The panel will bring together experts from academia and the music 
industry to discuss syncing – the process of connecting a musical 
composition with a moving picture. The topic continues the ‘Shifting 
Ground’ theme of Oxford Brookes’ PMRU group (see 
https://pmrubrookes.wordpress.com/activities/ 
<https://pmrubrookes.wordpress.com/activities/>). Dr Dai Griffiths 
(Brookes) will introduce the Study Day and also present Shifting 
Ground’s current research in the area of music and copyright.


This Study Day is a fantastic opportunity for students from across the 
region to present their current research, meet and network with fellow 
students and academics, and watch academics and music industry 
professionals discuss issues current to popular music studies and the 
music industry.


All are welcome; if you would like to attend, please contact Kirsten 
Etheridge (16035461 (at) brookes.ac.uk <http://brookes.ac.uk/>) to book 
your place. Coffee and tea will be provided, and there are catering 
outlets on campus for lunch.
