Call for Papers: IASPM Journal 8/1 (2018) –– Gender Politics in the Music
Industry

Special Issue Editors: Catherine Strong and Sarah Raine

Gender in music has been considered in terms of performance, genre, and
audience cultures, yet gender politics within the music industry itself
remains under-researched. Offering an opportunity to engage at the
intersection between musical production, the creative industries and gender
politics, this call for papers aims to bring together research that
considers the gender politics of the music industry itself: of work
relationships; the spaces of production; the processes of decision making;
the creation of musical experiences in festivals and tours.

Moving on from the already substantial body of literature on gender on the
musical stage,* IASPM Journal*, the journal of the International
Association for the Study of Popular Music, wishes to encourage further
research and debate in this area with a special issue that foregrounds the
people, practices and places of the music industry, to be published in
2018. We are looking for a range of international perspectives from the
different localities and cultures that IASPM represents. For this special
issue, we are particularly interested in new approaches at the crossroads
of topics that can include but are not limited to:

➢ Music industry strategies to increase gender diversity
➢ The gendered division of labour in music industries
➢ Navigating the music industries beyond the gender binary
➢ The gendered dimensions of precarious musical labour
➢ The disruption or maintenance of a perceived industry “boys’ club”
➢ Music career development and gender roles
➢ The interaction between social media and industry on gender issues
➢ Safety and inclusion in venues

Authors are encouraged to submit, by 28 August 2017, a 300-word abstract
including an indicative title and references, showing engagement with
relevant literature and other outputs, to Catherine Strong and Sarah Raine
at iaspmgenderissue at gmail.com

Full papers will be invited by the 29 of September.

The deadline for full submission is 15 January 2018
Please register and submit online, and ensure you are a current member of
IASPM.
