DESCRIPTION:Musicking holds tremendous potential for reducing prejudice an
 d increasing intercultural empathy. Increasing creative agency in music ho
 lds great possibility for increasing individual agency in extra-musical li
 fe domains\, and thereby doing social justice work. But what are the most 
 effective pedagogical strategies for enabling both creative agency and pos
 itive intercultural engagement\, and how can researchers best evaluate the
 m? What are the logistical and ethical challenges of organizing an applied
  ethnomusicology/community music project that integrates diverse heritage 
 musics and creativities in a multicultural society? In this interactive wo
 rking seminar\, Professor of Ethnomusicology Juniper Hill will begin with 
 an overview of her previous ethnographic research on community music progr
 ams in South Africa and her new action research project in Germany. She wi
 ll then raise methodological and ethical questions relating to such projec
 ts and invite all present to contribute to a discussion of how to meet the
 se challenges.\n\nJuniper Hill is Professor and Chair of Ethnomusicology i
