The 2020 New Directions conference seeks to broaden and humanize policy for students, teachers, and communities. We invite submissions from across the spectrum of inquiry on pressing questions, including but not limited to:
- How does music education fit into the broader landscape of schools and educational policy?
- What policies and policy-makers are impacting music education?
- How can music educators have agency in the policy development and implementation processes?
- How can policy support goals around educational equity, justice, and activism?
- What should the future of music education be and how do policies support or hinder this?
