Goteborg University Department of Musicology plans a three-day international conference on music, gender, and pedagogics, to be held 26-28/4 1996 in Goteborg (Gothenburg), Sweden. 15 invited speakers will present papers. An important part of the conference will consist of discussions based upon these papers which will be sent in the form of a working compendium to all participants before the conference. Discussions will be led by a chair and the author of each paper. The language of the conference will be English. The 3 conference themes are interpreted with reference to a pedagogical framework:

1. Women musicians and gender politics
2. Masculine and feminine in music activities and institutions
3. Gender, music theory and analysis

The speakers are: Marcia J Citron (USA), Beverley Diamond (CAN), Marjorie Glynne-Jones (UK), David Hargreaves (UK), Marcia Herndon (USA), Regina Himmelbauer (A), Jarna Knuuttila (FIN), Ellen Koskoff (USA), Roberta Lamb (CAN), Richard Leppert (USA), Pirkko Moisala (FIN), Eva Ohrstrom (S), Karin Pendle (USA), Eva Rieger (D), Margaret Lucy Wilkins (UK).
