\n Three Conversations on Racism & Anti-Racism in Music\n <\/h1>\n \n <\/header>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

In light of the Black Lives Matter movement<\/strong>, musicians and music scholars across Canada are confronting systemic racism both in music and in society. What are the realities of racism in music that we need to acknowledge and reckon with? What is music\u2019s potential for promoting anti-racism? And how is the current national conversation on racism entwined with the work of decolonization? Join us for a series of conversations with musicians and music scholars who are at the forefront of anti-racist music scholarship, facilitated by Helmut Kallmann Chair, Ellen Waterman<\/a>. Everyone attending will have the opportunity to join in the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
