Deadline for Proposals: 3 January 2024

Keynote Speakers: Dr Anabel Maler and Dr Robert Komaniecki

The SMA’s annual Theory and Analysis Graduate Students (TAGS) Conference will be hosted at the University of Oxford Music Faculty on Wednesday 17 and Thursday 18 April, 2024. The event provides a supportive and friendly environment in which postgraduates (and undergraduates) can gain experience in presenting their work and meet fellow researchers. Participants who do not wish to give a paper are also very welcome to attend. 

We’re hugely excited that the conference will feature two keynotes: one by Dr Anabel Maler, and one by Dr Robert Komaniecki, both from the University of British Columbia. Each of them will also deliver a workshop focussing on useful skills for an academic career. Read about their trailblazing research, encompassing rap, deaf musicology, and post-tonal form, here. You can also read about the research interests of SMA trustees, many of whom will be in attendance at the conference, here: Trustees.
