Description:
Recently, there has been a shift in cultural geographies, popular music studies, and sound studies to explore new perspectives on music in geography over various fields. Music geography has grown to incoperate many facets of cultural geographies, such as is the nature of geography itself. In this panel, we explore the space and place of music in various geographic areas using multiple methods in geography. Music as a medium for study in geography takes numerous shapes, from the place of music, its production, consumption, and distribution to the sense of place music creates and its relationship with the landscape. Music allows geographers to explore politics, race, identity, protest, resistance, and the environment, among many other topics. In the study of music geography, we also incoperate the study and role of sound and the soundscape to explore areas of power, identity, race, and memory. Studies on place and perceptions of place have been advanced by incorporating these new directions in music/sound geographies. This year’s theme of “Toward More Just Geographies” asks us to consider the interdependence of equity, inclusion, diversity, and justice within our discipline. Music allows us to explore, through sound, how we can contribute to confronting injustice and supporting diversity in all environments; music/sound touches many individuals in various environments, it maintains and can alter injustice. The aim of this panel is to join various researchers doing work in music geography, sound studies, and various fields within the sub-field of music geography.
