A pre-conference workshop for doctoral students will take place June 3-5, 2019.
This symposium will bring together a diverse array of international philosophers, scholars, teachers,
teacher educators, and performers interested in engaging in philosophical research regarding music
education. The symposium seeks to encourage and stimulate discussions on a wide range of topics related
to philosophy of music education from international and interdisciplinary perspectives. This includes in
particular research concerned with intersections of philosophy of music education and music education
policy, or comparative and international music education.

abstract of no more than 250 words must accompany the text. Authors will certify that their papers have not
been published elsewhere and are not under review for other conferences or publications. All submissions

provide a general abstract for the entire panel and individual abstracts for each participant. Panels will be
90 minutes.
Submission deadline is October 1, 2018. Late papers will not be accepted. Paper submissions
should be sent via email to program co-chair Lauren Kapalka Richerme, at lkricher@indiana.edu.
Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the symposium in London, ON, Canada. Invited

among symposium participants.
The ISPME network has the great pleasure of inviting doctoral students working with philosophical
aspects on music education to participate in a pre-conference workshop before the opening of the
symposium. Participants will have the opportunity to present their projects and discuss philosophical and/or
methodological issues with each other and with international scholars. To participate in the pre-conference
workshop, please send no more than two pages with a short abstract of your doctoral project and a specific
question that you want to discuss. Send your contribution, no later than November 1, 2018, to Cecilia Ferm-
