Public Scholarship Project

In this world of fast moving and ubiquitous social media, we realize the important (and social responsibility) that researchers and scholars have to disseminate good quality research in concise and understandable language to the public. In that spirit we learned and worked together on writing public scholarship pieces. In addition, our Musical Experiences Project offers a publically accessible platform to invite dialogue about the varied and vital musical experiences of people.
