Description: Urban Music Studies – Scholars Network is a multi- and transdisciplinary network of researchers regarding the different relationships between musical forms, actors, institutions and the city. Our aim is to institutionalize all kinds of academic and applied work in the field in order to connect the rather coexisting and loose linkages between results and publications within different academic discourses like urban studies, musicology, popular music studies, cultural studies, sociology to economy, geography and history. Therefore, ‘Urban Music Studies’ displays an umbrella term and encompasses all efforts and disciplinary perspectives. It has become a reasonable field of research within recent years. In order to define the range and frontiers of Urban Music Studies we started a blog to collect all kinds of work, events and publications in the field on www.urbanmusicstudies.org. From November 23rd to 25th, 2018, the network´s first international conference ‘Groove the City. Urban Music Policies between Informal Networks and Institutional Governance’ will be held at Leuphana University of Luneburg in Germany.
