Engaging scholars in "Music and Peace" & "Business and Peace"

May 11, 2018: SUMMIT

Picture
A day that brought together national and international researchers,
activists, and artists who currently focus on two major fields of interest
– “Music and Peace” and “Business and Peace” –
in a series of presentations and discussions.

Friday, May 11, 2018| 9am-6pm, Eastern Time
William and Gayle Cook Library, M285
Indiana University Jacobs School of Music

​THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES!


Speakers from the Music, Business, and Peace Summit were featured in an online conference under the auspices of Business Fights Poverty, entitled: Cultural Foundations of Peace Virtual Conference:  BusinessFightsPoverty & Indiana University.

To access the Business Fights Poverty asynchronous streaming of the Music, Business, and Peace papers, please click here: https://snipbfp.org/2rLMhAN You are welcome to make comments, ask questions, and interact with the speakers through this forum.

On June 22nd, July 20th, and Sept. 21st, 2018, all speakers were featured in an hour synchronous session from 10 to 11 a.m. ET.
Speakers included: Ruth Stone, Constance Cook Glen, Carolyn Calloway-Thomas. Nancy Love, Olivier Urbain, Tim Fort. Kathleen Higgins, Alexander Bernstein, Jerry White​​.


As the second summit of its kind, the project actively juxtaposed and cross-pollinated a wide range of intellectual and artistic practices in the belief that a coherent set of understandings can emerge on how the two disciplines interact with and co-inhabit their worlds. The day included an exchange of ideas that will lead to larger efforts in the future.

​Participants included Timothy Fort, Kathleen Marie Higgins, Arlen Langvardt, Jamie Prenkert, Karen Woody, Alain Barker, Brenda Brenner, Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Cynthia Cohen, André de Quadros, Gisela Flanigan, Constance Cook Glen, Halina Goldberg, Aida Huseynova, Marianne Kielian-Gilbert, Nancy S. Love, Ruth Stone, Olivier Urbain, and Jeffrey Werbock. Read the Bios >

​The 2017 summit generated a number of new conversations and resulted in the development of sixteen articles for publication. College Music Society  Symposium and other journals are dedicating special issues to these topics.  Six articles have been published in the Symposium in an online format this summer at http://music.org. 
​
The 2018 summit extended its reach through a partnership with Business Fights Poverty (businessfightspoverty.org), which streamed the presentations for one month. Business Fights Poverty has become the largest business-led collaboration network focusing on social issues. With over 20,000 professionals around the world, BFP develops three to nine month programs that provide the opportunity of in-depth, global engagement of social issues.

Summit Planning Team: Alain Barker, Timothy Fort, Constance Cook Glen, Aida Huseynova, Ruth Stone.
