This two-day event will be hosted by the University of Hull from 8 - 9 November 2013. The Student Study Day on Friday 8 November is aimed at both postgraduate and final-year undergraduate students, and will provide postgraduate students with an opportunity to share their research. The day will comprise 20-minute papers engaging with a range of topics within the fields of music psychology and education. There will also be a lunchtime concert, poster presentations, and a practical workshop. Please visit the SEMPRE website (www.sempre.org.uk) for further details and to view the call for papers.

The Music and Empathy Conference on Saturday 9 November includes invited presentations and selected submissions from researchers on the theme of music and empathy. In recent years there has been a growing interest in empathy in the fields of music psychology and education. Research in music and empathy now spans a variety of contexts, including education and development, engagement, understanding, and performance. This conference seeks to draw together current research from a range of areas and to encourage and stimulate discussion on research in music and empathy.
