III International Conference on Sonorities Research (CIPS):
Sounds of the End of the World. https://en.sonoridades.net/. Fluminense Federal University (UFF) – Niterói/RJ – Brazil. Online & in person. Call for abstracts until 22 January 2023

How do sound and musical cultures take a position, articulate, face and/or politicize themselves in the face of late capitalism and the Anthropocene? What do certain sounds and music teach us in these situations where there seems to be no alternative but to accelerate? Or what sounds need to be heard, which are ignored and which denounce the urgency before the end of the world? Anyway, what does it mean to hear the end of the world?

Conference on Politics in Music and Song; https://www.musicologie.org/22/conference_on_politics_in_music_and_songs.html, Queen’s University Belfast, UK.

The Cultural Diversity in Music Education (CDIME) conference has provided a platform for the exchange of practices and research related to cultural diversity in music education since 1992. In 2023 the sixteenth CDIME conference will be an in-person event, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa. The theme of the conference, ecologies and diversities, invites participants to consider diversity in music education using theories and ideas drawn from ecological thinking. This may include, but is not limited to:

• the relationships between ecological sustainability, the climate crisis, music education and cultural diversity;
• cultural, social, economic, technological, or sonic ecologies that relate to cultural diversity in music education;
• systems and relationships in, beyond, or outside music education situations that foster or limit cultural diversity;
• embodied systems of thought or practice as it relates to cultural diversity in music education;
• coloniality, decoloniality or postcoloniality and cultural diversity;
• ways in which classrooms, schools, schooling systems, teacher training, policy or curricula, etc. can be understood as ecological and how such ecologies relate to cultural diversity in music education.
