The F-List Gender in Music Research Hub is organising its second annual Research Conference to be held on 24th May at ICMP.
This conference will be a full-day event, held in person with the possibility of joining the day online too.
The F-List Research Hub has been founded to increase knowledge by conducting research into gender inequality in music. In its approach, the Research Hub aims to implement an inclusive definition of research:
ICMP's Head of Songwriting and F-List Director Sophie Daniels said: "We’ve very excited to be hosting the latest research hub conference from the F-List."
The organisation does vital work in furthering conversations around gender inequality and we’re looking forward to lively discussion, debate and insight around identity in music, research and music education."
The F-List Research Hub aims to expand and better introduce the existing feminist and interdisciplinary collective of researchers.
This group is dedicated to evidence-led activism which aims to create an environment in which women and gender expansive people in the music industries will be able to more successfully start and sustain their music careers for longer.
The theme of the conference will be around identity, a central theme in feminist research.
