CFP: Proceedings of Inaugural Symposium for the ICTM Study Group on Indigenous Music and Dance

The ICTM Study Group on Indigenous Music and Dance would like to invite presenters from the 2020 Inaugural Symposium to submit a 3000-word version of their paper for publication in the Symposium Proceedings. The Symposium took place in person and online in Taiwan and Australia and included joint sessions with the National Symposium for Indigenous Music and Dance in Australia. We encourage speakers from both streams to submit their work to the proceedings. We aim to make this bilingual (EnglishChinese) publication an accurate representation of the entire conference and encourage all presenters to submit their work.  

Please submit your article in English for review by the Study Group Committee. The Proceedings will be launched at the 2022 Symposium. In order to ensure it is completed on time, all due dates must be strictly observed. Late submissions will not be accepted. 

Topic: Your paper must have the same title as your Symposium presentation and be an accurate representation of that presentation. 

Word Count: 3000 words maximum 

Language: All the papers will be submitted in English. Contributors who can write fluently in Chinese are also encouraged to submit the Chinese version of their own paper. We believe it will better express your ideas. For all other papers, our translation team will create a Chinese version. 

Due Date: 15 November 2021. Late submissions will not be accepted. 
Images: Your paper may include up to four black and white images (please supply images as TIF files at 250-300 dpi, and ensure that you have the appropriate copyright permissions to publish them). 

Questions: If you have any questions about the submission process, please contact:
