Popular Music Research Unit, Goldsmiths

Description

Bringing together creative practice and critical debate, the Goldsmiths Popular Music Research Unit was formed in January 2011.

With the aim of focusing and extending the Department of Music’s growing expertise in and reputation for innovative research into popular music.

The Unit will be addressing contemporary issues of significance to musicians, industries involved directly and indirectly with popular music, voluntary and state organisations and the public, and will encompass repertoire that is broad in historical range and geographical scope.

The Unit seeks to facilitate a variety of traditional and more innovative ways of researching popular music; focusing on musical texts, reception, creativity and production in both contemporary and historical contexts. It will showcase the research of University-based scholars, performers and composers as well as creative practitioners.
