CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
The Organising Committee invites offers of individual papers and lecture-recitals based on original research and discoveries, and proposals for panel sessions with identified panellists. Contributions should relate to the history, design, construction, function, and use of musical instruments in any culture and from any period.
A theme of the Conference will be Domestic Music Making and its Instruments - papers on topics related to this theme will be especially welcome, but offers of papers on other musical instruments will also be welcome.
Offers of paper presentations are invited, either full-length presentations of 20 minutes (followed by 10 minutes for discussion) or brief contributions of 10 minutes (followed by 5 minutes for discussion).
It will not be necessary to submit the full text of papers, but suitable contributions may qualify for publication in the Galpin Society Journal at the discretion of the editor and subject to the normal acceptance procedures (the GSJ is a fully refereed journal). The language of the abstracts and presentations will be English. It will not be possible to mount posters at this conference. It is intended that there will be no parallel sessions. Papers should be delivered in person at the Conference by the author (or one of several named authors). All presenters must register for the conference and pay the normal fee for participation in the Conference.
Abstracts of papers (400 words maximum for full-length papers, 200 words maximum for brief contributions) and a biography (no more than 75 words) are invited, to be submitted by 20 January 2022. Acceptance of submissions will be notified by 20 February 2022. Accepted abstracts will be placed on the Conference website.
