*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/>
