Calling UK producers, songwriters and singers! I'm doing a PhD for Oxford Uni about pop vocal production, and the links between technology and style. I'm collecting data using interviews and observation, and need more participants. Please DM or email me (in bio) if you can help!

As an FYI to ethno/anthro people who may be examining or shortlisting projects by disabled students, I understand 'feasibility' is part of the evaluation criteria, but it is never appropriate to bring students' disabilities into that discussion.

@katharineparton @AcademicChatter @Momademia @unimelb Congratulations! 🎉

[Anna Thomas @aannathomas]

Great to collaborate with @jakedownsmusic @jacobmbird on this panel presentation - a topic very central to my DPhil research - and a nice break from writing!

[Jacob Kingsbury Downs @jakedownsmusic]

First up, @aannathomas speaks about her amazing ethnography of Top 40 vocal production, exploring the socio-aesthetic mediations of EQ chains.

[Jacob Kingsbury Downs @jakedownsmusic]

If you’re at a loose end, @jacobmbird, @aannathomas, and I are hosting a panel on voices and technologies at the Sound Instruments and Sonic Cultures online conference from 1400 GMT. Free access here: https://t.co/Oei8C4t2K9

[Jacob Kingsbury Downs @jakedownsmusic]

Agreed! Plus I’ll be presenting as part of a collaborative panel discussing what Steven Connor has called the “voice-body” and its technological mediations with @jacobmbird and @aannathomas tomorrow at 1400 GMT. Funded in part by the wonderful @WRoCAH.

🧵Practical things you can do as an AHRC student to try and eke out your funding (/ways to make your extension come from a different pot). Spoiler there's not a lot, but.

[PandemicPGRs @PandemicPGRs]

It just gets worse when you look at their own research showing nearly 80% of us currently in our 2nd and 3rd years are needing extensions

[Anna Thomas @aannathomas]

Also, this is one of the most rambling and incoherent policy documents I have ever read. https://t.co/rLM83pNMPz

[Anna Thomas @aannathomas]

UKRI policy just released is very depressing. Along with the widespread trend/expectation that humanities students do a 4th year unfunded, it's proof that humanities research is valued less by this govt. Plus, as usual, it will place wealthy students at an overwhelming advantage.

[Anna Thomas @aannathomas]

In all honesty, this makes trying for an academic career feel more and more like a losing battle

[PandemicPGRs @PandemicPGRs]

So we're hearing that PGR Twitter is not exactly loving this announcement. Want UKRI to know what you think in our response? Add to the padlet and we'll make sure the directors hear your views! https://t.co/9J6Z95uK5r

[Anna Thomas @aannathomas]

@alicetheoboist 'One of our key strategies going forward will be to ensure that students and supervisors make their best efforts to devise alternative ways of completing their projects. It's important that we give students the right support to basically just suck it up and get on with it'

[Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in Music Studies @EDIMusicStudies]

We are excited to announce our online launch event including a panel session on "A Vision for EDI in Music in HEIs"! Please join us on 13th November to hear from our guest speakers Nate Holder (@N8Holder), Alok Nayak & Freya Jarman (@freya_jarman).

A big thank you to everyone who replied to/forwarded on my call for research participants. So many amazing leads for the study! (And sorry to anyone I haven't got round to following up yet, I'm still getting through them all!)
