Hi Everyone,

My friend Caroline is organising a Student Study Day in conjunction with SEMPRE, have a read of the Call for Papers below for more information:

CALL FOR PAPERS
SEMPRE Study Day at the University of Hull - Friday 8 November 2013 Organised in connection with the SEMPRE Music and Empathy conference, this student study day is open to both postgraduate and final year undergraduate students. The event will provide postgraduate students with an opportunity to share their research. It will also provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with the opportunity to develop research skills, network with peers and academics from a variety of research disciplines and to learn about current research in the field of music psychology and music education.
The study day will comprise 20-minute papers engaging with a variety of topics. 
There will also be a lunchtime concert, poster presentations and a practical workshop in which students can experience how theoretical research can be applied in a practical setting. Interdisciplinary research and debate is strongly encouraged and we welcome papers from many disciplines including music psychology, music education, music therapy, sociology and neuroscience.  
Proposals for both spoken and poster presentations are welcome from postgraduate students at all levels. Submissions should clearly show how the presentation topic relates to the study of music psychology and/or music education. Please send abstracts (200 words) by email to Sarah Mawby (contact details below) by Friday 27 September 2013.
 
This is an exciting opportunity for students from a variety of disciplines to connect with one another and share their ideas; developing research skills that they can then carry forward into their own academic studies.
