DESCRIPTION:

This open access edited collection shows how neoliberalism continues to 
shape higher music education institutions, curricula design and learning 
cultures, as well as the various ways of transitioning from education to 
work and the world of uncertainty and job insecurity currently being 
experienced by a younger generation of musicians. The book brings 
together empirical studies, activist voices, theoretical reflections and 
autoethnographic studies from a broad range of disciplines, work 
contexts and geographical regions. These contributions examine how 
race/ethnicity, gender and class pervade the creation, performance and 
teaching of music and create the context for the reproduction of social 
inequalities. They also illuminate the notions of employability, 
entrepreneurialism and meritocracy that underpin higher music education 
and the music labour markets in Italy, Portugal, the Netherlands, 
Sweden, Estonia, Hungary, Finland, the United Kingdom, the United 
States, Canada and China, and provide insights into the strategies used 
by musicians to manage their precarious working lives. Finally, this 
collection specifically highlights alternative pedagogical approaches 
and activist tactics for moving forward in the era of Black Lives 
Matter, #StopAsianHate and #MeToo.
