"De-Canonizing Music History" International Symposium for Histories of 
Popular Music, Jazz, and Folk Music
Sibelius Academy, Helsinki, Finland, November 29-December 1, 2007

The purpose of the symposium is to acknowledge and discuss the various 
ways in which traditional music history is challenged by emergent 
critical and cultural views, de-canonizing our conventional 
understandings of the musical past. Within this extensive focus, the 
submissions may concern a wealth of subjects and methods. Thematic areas 
may include, but also reach beyond:

- Style/Genre history
- Philosophy/Theory of history
- Biography
- Jazz studies
- Historical study of musical instruments
- History of music technology
- Media history
- Music education
- Feminist and gender studies
- Interaction between Art, Folk and Popular Music
- Non-Western perspectives on music history

Professor Roberta Lamb (Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada)
Professor Derek Scott (University of Leeds, UK)
Professor Lewis Porter (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA)
