THE POLITICS OF DIVERSITY IN MUSIC EDUCATION KA...

This open access book examines the political structures and processes that frame and produce
understandings of diversity in and through music education. Recent surges in nationalist 
fundamentalist  protectionist and separatist tendencies highlight the imperative for music
education to extend beyond nominal policy agendas or wholly celebratory diversity discourses.
Bringing together high-level theorisation of the ways in which music education upholds or
unsettles understandings of society and empirical analyses of the complex situations that arise
when negotiating diversity in practice  the chapters in this volume explore the politics of
inquiry in research  examine music teachers' navigations of the shifting political landscapes
of society and state  extend conceptualisations of diversity in music education beyond familiar
boundaries  and critically consider the implications of diversity for music education
leadership. Diversity is thus not approached as a label applied to certain individuals or
musical repertoires  but as socially organized difference  produced and manifest in various
ways as part of everyday relations and interactions. This compelling collection serves as an
invitation to ongoing reflexive inquiry  to deliberate the politics of diversity in a
fast-changing and pluralist world  and together work towards more informed and ethically sound
understandings of how diversity in music education policy  practice  and research is framed and
conditioned both locally and globally.
