A wide-ranging scholar, Georgina Born is Professor of Music and Anthropology at Oxford University, and a fellow of the British Academy. Her work has consistently explored the interdisciplinary methods at the intersection of musicology and ethnography, as they shed light on cultural production, particularly music and media technology. She is a strong proponent of institutional ethnography and the value of turning the ethnographic lens toward Western modernity. Her books and edited volumes have explored an array of topics, including musical appropriation, the BBC, the IT industry, and interdisciplinarity, itself.
Georgina Born's talk is part of the Festival of Arts, Design, and Planning symposium, titled Methodologies, presented by the College of Fine and Applied Arts. The symposium on methodologies in arts, design, and planning research brings together leading scholars from across disciplines to explore our methodologies as models for creative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary work. The other keynote speakers include:
Terry Irwin, Carnegie Mellon University E. Patrick Johnson, Northwestern University
This two-day symposium offers a chance to reflect on what makes our work unique and uniquely valuable. It gives us an opportunity to articulate what our scholarship and creative practice offer to a university seeking ever more social, cultural, and intellectual creativity. Highlighting the many ways we have developed critical modes of analysis and problem solving, we celebrate the accomplishments of the past and chase unknown futures.
