[Commlist] Call for Papers: Contemporary Urban Music for Inclusion Network

*Call for Papers: CUMIN conference*

CUMIN is the Contemporary Urban Music for Inclusion Network 
https://cuminetwork.wordpress.com/ <https://cuminetwork.wordpress.com/>. 
CUMIN is an AHRC-funded network designed to bring together researchers, 
practitioners and a range of stake-holders in educational and social 
projects that utilise ‘contemporary urban music’ (by which we mean Hip 
Hop, grime, house, EDM, techno and so forth), fostering dialogue and 
production of new knowledge.

On *Friday 30^th  June* from 9.30am to 5.30pm CUMIN will hold a 
conference at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance 
https://www.trinitylaban.ac.uk/ <https://www.trinitylaban.ac.uk/>

*Key questions for the conference include*: How can music education 
become more relevant to learner tastes and preferences in the 21^st 
 century? What would need to change to make this happen? What are the 
impacts on well-being that can arise from projects utilising 
contemporary urban musics for inclusion? How can we best evaluate such 
impacts?
