Dear Sociology of Music colleagues,
You are invited to
Presented by TASA Sociology of Music, IASPM-AANZ, UniSC, SCMIC, SCEIA
Scheduled between the TASA and IASPM-ANZ conferences at the Sunshine Coast, the event aims to raise the profile of the sociology of music, and to develop the networks of thematic group members in academic, government and industry circles. Our thematic group convenors have collaborated with representatives of IASPM-ANZ, University of the Sunshine Coast, and local industry bodies, to develop a program with this aim (see link). There is a focus on listening to local cultural sector stakeholders and roundtable discussion, including possible avenues for research and engagement.
Travel bursaries – applications by Tuesday 10 November
TASA has provided up to $1200 funding for travel support, to assist postgraduate, early career, low income and/or unwaged members to attend the event. It is proposed to distribute this funding to two recipients, subject to applications received (e.g. $600 each). The funding is only available for expenses that are not covered by other financial support.
To apply for the grant, applicants are asked to supply the following:
1. Evidence of expenses not covered by other financial support.
2. A description of how attendance at this event fits with the applicant’s research agenda and academic career development (no more than 300 words).
Candidates may also, if desired, present evidence of hardship or extenuating circumstances that might make the bursary of particular value to them.
Please submit submissions by November 10th to Ben Green ( ben.green@rmit.edu.au) with the subject heading "Sociology of Music Travel Bursary". Applications should include full contact details and institutional affiliation of the applicant. Convenors will decide bursary recipients based on material received and applicants will be informed as soon as possible. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with convenors if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Sociology of Music Convenors
Andy Bennett, Christie Bosworth, Hannah Fairlamb, Ben Green
