Conference
Singing Death
Chapter proposals are invited for an edited volume entitled ‘Singing Death’. This arises out of a day-long symposium and concert in August 2013, generously supported by the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. The editors would like to extend the work of the symposium with a collection of essays focussing on death and music. Abstract submissions due 30 September. For submission information and further details, please see the ANZAMEMS website.
