The University of the West Indies and Birmingham City University are

Studies and the Reggae Studies Unit inside Jamaica’s /Reggae Month/, 
this conference will engage academics within a wide field of scholastic 
orientations and practice. This event comes as part of larger project on 
music and cultural innovation and black popular culture through which 
both Universities have engaged in a partnership to expand scholarship 
and outreach through community engagement, experimentation, archive 
building, exhibitions, among others.

and sound system research, highlighting the music’s subgenres, 
crossovers, mashups, intersections and innovations, featuring local,

conference will discuss and engage with reggae innovation, particularly
