I have been involved in a broad range of conferences from around the world. A select few include:
- Music and/as Process conference, 2015, at Goldsmiths, University of London, run by Dr Lauren Redhead.
- Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism, 2016, White Noise conference at CRiSAP, London College of Communication, London, led by Professor Cathy Lane, Professor Angus Carlyle and Dr Holly Ingleton. There was also a workshop attached to this conference that I was involved in called “Ring Di Alarm Workshop” – a workshop that explores alternative references and strategies for sonic resistance to negate the White Noise of the production of racialized cultural, social and political narratives. Our discussion was broadcast live to a radio/internet stream and the workshop ended with us selecting music which we thought represented this resistance.
- Finding Democracy in Music, 2017, University of Huddersfield, led by Professor Robert Adlington.
- Noise In And As Music Symposium, 2013, University of Huddersfield, led by Professor Aaron Cassidy and Dr Aaron Einbond.
- Touching Sound Symposium, the discourse between sound and tactility, 2017, City University, led by Dr Claudia Molitor and Dr Aaron Einbond.
