hop on 5 – 6 September 2022. This discussion-based Workshop is an opportunity for
postgraduate students and early career researchers to share their research and experiences, and to actively contribute to discussions on the Workshop’s main topics:
How might we shape women’s work in music scholarship in the next twenty years?
How can we be more inclusive about teaching women in music subjects in HE?
How can we ensure that women are more represented in leadership roles in HE and the music industries?

During the sessions, attendees will be encouraged to discuss issues or challenges that they have encountered in their area of work, and to bring questions that relate to the Workshop themes as outlined above. The event will also include a concert on the evening of 5 September given by Mary Hofman (violin) and Richard Ormrod (piano) featuring music by composers Eleanor Alberga, Sarah Lianne-Lewis, Steph Power, Rhian Samuel and Hilary Tann.
