Abstract
In 2010, Establishing Identity: LGBT Studies and Music Education brought together students, teachers, college faculty, and researchers to discuss relevant research, theory, and practice from an LGBT perspective. Topics included career paths in music education and re/negotiating “the closet,” experiences of LGBT undergraduates in music education, music educator identity and sexual orientation, queer institutionalization, and gender and music education.
The purpose of this second symposium is to promote, extend, and disseminate discourse regarding intersection of LGBT topics and music education. The 2012 Conference is being presented in collaboration with Consortium for Research on Equity in Music Education (CRÈME: http://creme.wisc.edu/about.html).
