*Music, ageing, technology*
*Symposium on music research, Joensuu, Finland, 11–13 May 2016*

The University of Eastern Finland, the Finnish Society for
Ethnomusicology and the project Ageing, Communication, Technologies
(*ACT*) bring together researchers from music studies and various other
disciplines in order to discuss music in relation to ageing and
technology. The symposium “Music, ageing, technology symposium” will be
held in the Joensuu campus of the University of Eastern Finland, 11-13
May 2016.

The participants of the symposium will look at all genres of music and
ageing, often in the context of modern communication technology. The
symposium hopes to offer multilayered and critical perspectives on the
crosscuttings of digital technologies and ageing in relation to music
studies, and how these approaches relate to other research traditions.
The theme is closely linked to one of the hosting university’s (UEF’s)
current research orientations on human sciences and technology research.

Possible topics for proposals include, but are not limited to, the
following themes:

· Music, musicians and the everyday of ageing
· Theoretical and methodological ear points on research into music,
ageing, technology
· Music genres and ageing
· Perspectives on historical research on ageing and music
· Sounds of generations and musical heritage
· Music, soundscape, memory
· Age, technology and music education
· Well-being, age and music
· Other themes from all fields of music research

The organisers invite participants of the symposium to submit their own
proposals for oral presentations (length maximum 20 minutes), panel
sessions and poster presentations. Proposals can be strictly or
indirectly related to the theme of the symposium. Alternatively, it is
possible to propose presentations that are entirely outside the theme.
Presentations can be given in Finnish, Swedish or English.


Abstracts for the symposium should be submitted by 29 February 2016
using the online submission system. All accepted abstracts will be
announced by 21 March 2016.

The online submission system and the webpage of the symposium can be
found at http://joensuusymposium2016.blogspot.fi/
