<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">We
are pleased to announce this call for papers for the 2013 IAPSM-ANZ conference,
which will be held at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, in
conjunction with the International Music Council’s 5th World Forum for Music
(21-24 November). The theme of the IMC World Forum is ‘Sustaining Music,
Engaging<a name="13d48b71dba29b0c__GoBack"></a> Communities’ with a strong emphasis on the
interplay between music, musicians and their various environments of activity
(natural, built, social and cultural, etc). Drawing on this, the theme of the
2013 IASPM-ANZ conference, <b>Popular Music
Communities, Places and Ecologies </b>seeks to foster scholarly engagement with
the various ways in which music, people and place are connected. While notions
of of ‘community’ and ‘place’ are well-established constructs in popular music
studies, we introduce here the notion of ‘ecology’ as a further consideration
in the relationship between popular music and place. This term may be
understood literally, in reference to the natural or physical environment, or
figuratively, as a metaphor for the numerous other possible environments of
popular music production and consumption.<span>

any aspect of this theme are invited from all researchers with an interest in
popular music, regardless of disciplinary orientation. All papers detailing new
and established research in the field will be considered, though preference may
be given to papers that demonstrate clear engagement with the theme. Papers
with a theoretical orientation are particularly encouraged, as are submissions
from postgraduate students. Panel submissions of up the three papers are also
