Dancing to the Beat of Gender (In)Equality?: An Investigation into Women's Participation in the Electronic Dance Music Scene in Belfast and Dublin

这项开创性的研究将调查，比较和对比妇女的经验，在电子舞蹈音乐场景在贝尔法斯特和都柏林。这项研究将探讨历史、社会和物质方面与技术、设计和商业化的接触对两个城市中女性作为DJ、制作人、俱乐部成员、音响和灯光工程师、预订代理人、促销员、场地所有者和视觉艺术家的作用的影响。通过分析身份、性别（不）平等以及包容和排斥过程等问题，该项目将为女性参与音乐技术的方式如何随着时间的推移而变化带来新的见解。

This pioneering study will investigate, compare and contrast women's experiences in the electronic dance music scenes in Belfast and Dublin. This research will address the impact of historical, social and material encounters with technology, design and commercialisation on women's roles as DJs, producers, club-goers, sound and lighting engineers, booking agents, promoters, venue owners, and visual artists in both cities. By analysing issues of identity, gender (in)equality and processes of inclusion and exclusion, this project will bring new insights into how women's engagements with music technologies have changed over time.
