Call for papers for special two-part issue titled Women in Popular
Music: Their Musical Education and Pedagogical Inspirations, in Two Parts: (1)
Women in WoPop (World Popular Music) and (2) Women in Popular Music across the Anglosphere
Guest Editor: Patricia Shehan Campbell
The aim of this two-part issue is to honor the voices of women in
popular music across generations and cultures, their musical journeys from
nascent to fully fledged or professional musicians, their ways of learning
their craft, and their contributions in inspiring, influencing, and imparting
to others the skills for engaging in popular music of various forms.
Representations of women in popular music and related industries remain
ow, and the chronicling of the nature of their expressive practices has been
minimal to almost entirely absent in scholarly journals in music and music
education. The intent of the collected articles is to open wide issues of
gender and inclusion, and to expand the present discourse on teaching and
learning popular music by featuring research and scholarship on women in
popular music from across different musical genres, performances, and cultural
practices.
The special issue will fall into two parts, with scholarly articles on:
(1) Women in WoPop (World Popular Music)—such as Umm Kulthum, Lila
Downs, Teresa Teng, Oumou Sangare, Celia Cruz, Nana Mouskouri, and Sinead
O’Connor (and others)
(2) Women in Popular Music across the Anglosphere of English-speaking
cultures—such as Patsy (Cline), Aretha, Joni, Selena, Amy (Winehouse), Madonna,
Celine, Taylor, and Beyoncé (and others)
Articles need not be artist-specific, but may well encompass topics and
people who would likely not otherwise feature in the journal; international and
cross-generational components are of interest as well.
We welcome research and scholarship of various methodological emphases,
and which address but are not limited to the following themes: (a) women’s
conceptions of and contributions to popular music within world communities and
English-speaking cultures (such as the U.S., the UK, Australia, Canada, and New
Zealand); (b) musical beginnings and developments of women popular music
artists as children-to-youth via popular music experiences in the home/family,
in the neighborhood, and via formal training/education; (c) the nurturing by
women popular music artists of a younger generation of aspirants via
straight-ahead teaching/coaching and indirect-yet-effective means of motivating
young musicians; (d) the wider scape of women and girls in learning and ‘doing’
popular music, as aspirants, apprentices, and emerging artists.
The Journal of Popular Music Education is a peer-reviewed journal
published by Intellect. It seeks to define, delimit, debunk, disseminate, and
disrupt practice and discourse in and around popular music education. Popular
music education takes place at the intersections of identity realization,
learning, teaching, enculturation, entrepreneurship, creativity, a global
multimedia industry, and innumerable instances of music making as leisure.
Through drawing together diverse, rigorous scholarship concerning learning in,
through and about popular music worldwide, JPME seeks to identify, probe and
problematize key issues in this vibrant, evolving field.
Scholarship from and across all relevant research methods and
disciplines is welcome. Please submit manuscripts of approximately 6,000 words
(double-spaced, Times New Roman, font size 12, including references) by 1
December 2020 for the attention of guest editor Patricia Shehan Campbell via
the JPME website. Please refer to the Intellect style guide when preparing a
submission. Less traditional format submissions are also welcomed for the
Practices and Perspectives section of the journal.
