Music
Topic in Musical Theatre
Project
This is an open-ended topic in any area of musical theatre. This could include history, music analysis, composition, or performance. The project will help construct a hub of innovative postgraduate musical theatre scholarship in the School of Music, contributing cultural knowledge to our research community. Transdisciplinary projects that combine methodologies are especially welcome (such as: analysing music and lyrics together; undertaking historically-informed performance research; studying music alongside social factors; studying musical theatre as a transnational art form). Discuss your project idea with Dr Camp before applying.
Redesigning MUS 743: Concepts and Methods in Practical Music Research
Project
In this project you will work with the supervisor to design ‘inverted classroom’ modules for the 700-level transdisciplinary course MUS 743 ‘Concepts and Methods in Practical Music Research’. The update is needed both to cater for a largely online delivery mode and to ensure coverage of topics relevant to today’s context. In particular we are interested in developing modules that benefit music research that advances just, cultured and engaged communities; and promotes wellbeing, mental health and creative therapies. The first part of the redesign will involve a literature review of inverted classroom practices as well as relevant literature for the modules. Then the redesign will take place in December/January; and February will involve beta testing.
