Online Lecture Series: Music, Sexual Harassment, Racism: Continuities & Change
University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna / online

Critical studies on sexualised and racialised violence have steadily increased in recent decades, but especially since #MeToo and Black Lives Matter power relations are also repeatedly addressed in music. This QUART – Quality of Arts lecture series aims to contribute to this scholarship and activism: It offers recent approaches to the analysis of sexual harassment and racism in the music industries and sheds light on initiatives that foster participation, inclusion, diversity, well-being and fair pay amongst musicians and other cultural workers.
