2:30p Special Session - Panel/Fishbowl Conversation
Serving the Public through Music(k)ing: Turning our special interests into a public concern"
Hildegard Froehlich opens this session with discussion of what we have done or can we do in terms of scholarship and/or other forms of activism that
contribute to turning special stakeholder interests into a public concern worthy of proactive legislative actions? Eleven panelists from, respectively,
Brazil, Canada, Germany, Norway, Republic of Ireland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States, will then address fundamental issues
connected with grass root efforts by music education scholars and practitioners to engage in a sociologically informed conversation about the place
of sociological inquiry in their work. This includes an open discussion on our own relationship to the legislative bodies that represents us as educators.
Though these bodies differ from country to country and bear differently on music educators’ work, such knowledge is relevant and important in
determining whether, despite the proliferation of already established other scholarly groups in music education, establishing an international society
for the sociology of music education is advisable and feasible. Moderated by Susan Conkling, the session invites all those in attendance to direct future
course(s) for action and move forward in our efforts to reflect on the effectiveness of our own work.
4:15p Break
