Ever since Ethnomusicology evolved from Comparative Musicology and re-defined the discipline’s scope, focus and method, it has been closely linked to practical activities. In this presentation, Dr. Lea Hagmann will focus on some of the ethnomusicological projects she has been involved with over the last 3 years that clearly go beyond her lecturing at the University of Bern. She strongly encourages students to think beyond academia and to get ideas about how ethnomusicology today can be successfully integrated into the broader society across social and geographic boundaries.

Speaker: Dr. Léa Hagmann, lecturer of Cultural Anthropology of Music and Director of Studies in World Arts and Music, University of Bern.

The conference will be held in English.
