Public Engagement
-
The Women in Global Music Research and Industry Network was founded in 2020 (and launched in June 2021) by Joe Davies and Yvonne Liao. It supports a range of online and in-person projects that pioneer women’s voices across geographies and through the ages.
Recent events include the Festival Finding a Voice (April 2024) and the International Conference Women at the Piano 1848–1970 (March 2023) at the University of California, Irvine.
