Abstract

Rethinking Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Toward New Ethical Paradigms in Music and Health Research was a 1-day conference held at Goldsmiths College, London, on October 19, 2013. Organized by Dr. Muriel Swijghuisen Reigersberg, at Goldsmiths, University of London, and supported by the British Forum for Ethnomusicology and Society for Education and Music Psychology Research, it brought together researchers, practitioners, and students from music psychology, neuroscience, ethnomusicology, music therapy, music sociology, and anthropology from across the U.K. and Europe. The aims of the day were to explore the methodological and paradigmatic differences between disciplines and seek ways of overcoming these to enable and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The conference was structured into three sections based on conference themes and concluded with a plenary by eminent researchers and practitioners from across the represented fields. The three sections were (1) biomedical and social perspectives on music and well-being, (2) culture and musical well-being, and (3) ethical and funding considerations.
