All those interested in working with ethnography in relation to music are welcome to attend, especially postgraduate students and post docs.
Each session will focus on a single piece of writing (pre-circulated) or a thematic intervention about music ethnography from one of our convenors or other colleagues, which will then be the point of departure for conversation.
This seminar takes place at King's College London. RSVP is essential to gain access to the college's premises; please write to Georgina Born, g.born@ucl.ac.uk.
