The Music, Mind and Brain group at Goldsmiths,
University of London is pleased to be hosting the Seventh International
Conference of Students of Systematic Musicology (SysMus14) from September
18th-20th, 2014. SysMus is an annual conference organized by students
for students. It provides postgraduate students opportunities to present their
research as oral papers or posters and to meet and discuss their own research,
while also enjoying keynote speeches by internationally renowned researchers. SysMus14 will provide early career researchers a
meeting place to communicate their research and exchange ideas and concerns,
while also acting as a hub for fruitful discussions. It will serve as an
intersection point for many different kinds of research and approaches related
to the empirical study of music. Systematic musicology is an umbrella term for a wide
range of research on themes including, but not limited to, music perception and
cognition, musical structure, music education, music therapy, music and
emotion, music and language, acoustics and psychoacoustics, and computer music.
Systematic musicology combines a mix of methodologies from the sciences and
humanities, including empirical psychology, sociology, cognitive sciences and
computing to neurosciences, acoustics and physiology. PhD and Masters level students are invited to submit
an abstract (max 350 words) by May 1st, 2014 following the guidelines provided
on the Submission Guidelines page. Abstracts will be subject to
a double-blind peer-review by a Scientific Committee consisting of doctoral
students and post-doctoral researchers representing different fields related to
the study of systematic musicology. Decisions will be announced by June 20th.
Talks will be 20 minutes long, followed by a 10-minute discussion; posters will
be displayed throughout the conference and presented during a designated poster
session. Further questions may be directed to the Organising
Committee at sysmus14@xxxxxxxxx. We are looking forward to welcoming you to London in
September! Conference Website: http://www.musicmindbrain.com/#!sysmus-2014/cfmp |
