Permanent Seminar in Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies

Seminar

The Permanent Seminar in Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies, created in 2022, is the central event of the Research Group with the same name. It brings together all its researchers—integrated, collaborating or pursing a PhD—on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Recent research presented by scholars from within and outside the group, both national and international, is discussed, always maintaining a balance of gender and career levels. The program is curated by Filippo Bonini Baraldi, Andrew Snyder, and Susana Sardo.
