<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13.3333px">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. </span><br style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13.3333px">

different localities and cultures that IASPM represents. For this
special issue, we are particularly interested in new approaches at the
