The Equality and Diversity Forum in partnership with the Research and Knowledge Exchange directorate at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is pleased to present the first Black History Month (BHM) Doctoral Researchers Event to be held at the RCS on 25th October.
This event is to promote and celebrate BAME researchers and their work.
Call for presentations: We would like to invite abstracts for a fifteen-minute presentation (performances are also encouraged) followed by discussion and questions. This call is open to all BAME arts and humanities doctoral researchers from the UK. The programme allows for 8 presentations and presenters are free to choose whether or not their presentation will directly address the challenges and/or opportunities of being a BAME researcher.
Please send a title and a 250-word outline of your presentation to a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk by Monday 7th Oct.
The event is free to all. If you would prefer to just attend the event or are interested in chairing or moderating please email a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk. Please note that there are limited places due to the venue capacity.
Non-BAME doctoral researchers are also welcome to attend and can email a.arockiam@rcs.ac.uk.
Presentations will be followed by an evening event of poetry, opera and a panel discussion focused on ‘Decolonising the curriculum in the arts.’ All participants will be eligible for a free ticket.

Joe Wright would like to let you all know about a new symposium that he's co-organising. Do share this call for papers amongst any research students and fellow staff members that you think may be interested in participating. The symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in technology in musical performance, with a view to creating a new RMA study group, and opportunities for publication in the new year.

Call for Contribution:
Technology in Musical Performance Symposium (TiMP)
.
3rd of December 2019 - Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University
Technology in Musical Performance (TiMP) is a forum for all who engage with electronics in live music performance. The symposium aims to stimulate discussion and collaboration between performers, composers, sound artists, practitioners, programmers, software developers and sound designers on musical performance with/mediated by technology.
Performative electronics is an area of music that is constantly evolving and developing. Among composers and practitioners, the desire to realise specific musical ideas leads to creative technological solutions. For new developments in music and live electronics to be thoroughly tested and evaluated, dialogue between creators and practitioners is vital.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 4 OCTOBER 2019
