The main theme could be broken down in to four further subtopics that focus on key aspects of the theme that speak most closely to the needs and aspirations of music education in the South Asia region.
- Activating advocacy: engaging with music education policy-making and developing eco-musicological practices, accessibility and EDI for the classroom and beyond
- Navigating the complex relationships between music and STEM
- Future proofing and Sustainability: education in and towards creative global economies and career paths
- Losing the Past in the Present: Locating and translating traditional practices in the digital age
Through the themes of the conference, we shall explore new possibilities in teaching practices, institutional curricula developments, policy making and advocacy goals - which will truly place music in and as education in the diverse spaces that populate South Asia’s schools and institutes of higher education.
Proposals for individual paper presentations (practice and/or research), panel sessions (symposia), workshops, poster displays and multimedia presentations are invited from participants worldwide.
ISME encourages submissions from researchers and practitioners at all career stages including graduate students and early career professionals that align with the conference theme and the needs and aspirations of music education throughout the region.
The conference language is English with Tamil as peripheral language (if the presentation is provided with a translation into English).
