*Saturday 18th November 2017
*University of Birmingham
Keynote speaker: tbc

The Department of Music at the University of Birmingham is delighted to 
host a Royal Musical Association Study Day. We welcome postgraduate 
researchers and practitioners from all areas of music to present their 
work in an inclusive, accessible and supportive space. We welcome 
submissions that engage with the study day theme of “Identity and Vinyl 
Culture”.

The resurgence of vinyl records in a multi-format, multi-channel 
listening world raises fundamental questions around the development of 
music technology, accessibility and the social practice of listening. 
 Topics of relevance to the study day theme might include, but are not 
restricted to:

• Articulations of identity (gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, etc.) 
through vinyl culture
• Vinyl as anti-hegemonic practice
• Under-representation and marginality in vinyl culture
• Authenticity and vinyl
• Sound formats and accessibility

We welcome both traditional and innovative formats for presentations 
relating to any areas of musical research, including composition, 
audio-visual media, performance, and/or other creative practices. 
Presentations should be 20 minutes in length, and will be followed by an 
additional 10 minutes for questions and discussion.

*Submission guidelines*

Potential contributors are invited to submit abstracts of up to 300 
words and a short bio to Karlyn King at (kxk628 /at/ student.bham.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(kxk628 /at/ student.bham.ac.uk)>.

Emails should include your name, email address, affiliation, and the 
title of your presentation. Please make any particular space, format, or 
equipment requirements clear in addition to your abstract.

It is hoped that we may be able to offer a contribution towards as many 
non-funded postgraduate student travel expenses as possible.
