Phenomenology of Music Across the Disciplines

Tuesday, May 20, 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

MMaP Gallery, second floor, Arts and Culture Centre; Suncor Hall, School of Music

From May 20 through May 22, 2025, MMaP will host an international conference on the phenomenology of music. Phenomenology is a tradition of Continental European philosophy that has had a vast impact on the humanities and social sciences around the world. Scholars from many disciplines use phenomenological methods to study music. However, most of this work has been conducted within sharply delineated disciplinary clusters, and communication across these clusters has been limited. Featuring leading scholars from seven countries, Phenomenology of Music across the Disciplines is the first international academic conference to bring together scholars from the broad range of disciplines that draw on phenomenological methods in music research, including those from anthropology, ethnomusicology, folklore studies, gender studies, music education, music theory, musicology, philosophy, and more. The event will take place in the MMaP Gallery in the John C. Perlin Arts and Culture Centre and is free for everyone in the Memorial University community. Space is limited and advance registration is required. To do so, please send an email message to mmap@mun.ca, and be sure to put “Phenomenology conference registration” in the subject line of your message.

Presented by Dr. Harris Berger
