This research explores how collaborative music making is created by, and can create, spaces of care and collective resistance that challenge systems of power and gender inequality. It offers a contribution at the intersection of anthropology, ethnomusicology, popular music studies, gender studies, and music sector policymaking and practice. My position as a musician, anthropologist and worker at a music charity enables me to bring together different but connected sites/groups of people: grassroots music charity Girls Rock London (which provides music making opportunities for women, girls, and trans and non-binary people), queer-feminist band Glorybox, and a range of musicians and music organisers. I am taking an ethnographic approach: a long-term, qualitative method grounded in the perspectives of research participants, including myself, as a Girls Rock London trustee and Glorybox bandmember. My 'fieldwork' comprises participation in Glorybox rehearsals, performances and residencies, and Girls Rock London workshops, events and meetings. I will also lead interviews with Glorybox members; Girls Rock London project participants, staff and volunteers; and a range of musicians and music organisers. Placing self-organised music making in conversation with the arts, music education, charity and commercial music sectors, this research aims to investigate and strengthen connections between those sectors and anthropology; support and improve the practice of organisations using music to address exclusions experienced by young people and adults of marginalised genders; ground practice and policy in theory and research; and contribute to research that is grounded in the lived experiences and perspectives of people of marginalised genders.

这项研究探索了协作式音乐制作是如何由挑战权力和性别不平等制度的关怀和集体抵抗空间创造出来的，也可以创造出来。它在人类学、民族音乐学、流行音乐研究、性别研究以及音乐部门的政策制定和实践方面做出了贡献。作为一名音乐家、人类学家和一家音乐慈善机构的工作人员，我的职位使我能够将不同但相互联系的网站/团体聚集在一起：草根音乐慈善机构Girls Rock London(为女性、女孩、跨性别和非双重身份的人提供音乐创作机会)、酷儿女权主义乐队Glorybox，以及一系列音乐家和音乐组织者。我正在采取一种民族志方法：一种长期的、定性的方法，基于研究参与者的观点，包括作为伦敦女孩摇滚受托人和Glorybox乐队成员的我。我的“实地工作”包括参加Glorybox排练、演出和驻场演出，以及参加伦敦女孩摇滚的研讨会、活动和会议。我还将领导对Glorybox成员、伦敦女孩摇滚项目参与者、工作人员和志愿者的采访，以及一系列音乐家和音乐组织者的采访。这项研究将自我组织的音乐制作与艺术、音乐教育、慈善和商业音乐部门进行对话，旨在调查和加强这些部门与人类学之间的联系；支持和改进组织利用音乐来解决年轻人和被边缘化性别的成年人经历的排斥的做法；理论和研究中的基本实践和政策；以及促进基于被边缘化性别的人的生活经验和观点的研究。
