REQUESTED RESUBMISSION Music and Disability: Deconstructing the barriers to full participation

该网络的目标是建立协作和跨学科的研究伙伴关系，以帮助理解和克服残疾人在获取音乐方面面临的许多障碍。残疾人目前在大多数文化生活领域的代表性不足，更有可能在教育、就业和社会流动等领域面临歧视。在音乐创作方面，这种代表性不足可能是由一些问题造成的，包括：态度和体制障碍，缺乏既满足残疾人机会需求又允许充分参与音乐生活的适当乐器；音乐教育中的排他性做法、社会造成的障碍、卫生系统和公共政策。此外，研究和实践领域之间相对缺乏跨学科合作，在语言和话语方面存在深刻差异，这加剧了这一问题。因此，残疾人充分参与音乐创作的障碍很多，也很复杂。一个例子是，关于音乐和残疾的研究经常与残疾音乐家的价值观背道而驰。过度地将一个问题医学化可能是社会的产物，而不是具体化的病理学。另一个问题是，一个学科开展的研究不会交叉到另一个学科。包容性音乐教育的新做法说明了这一点，而不是指导改编乐器的设计，这可能会支持音乐家的发展。该网络认识到，解决方案的途径在于交流知识和发展合作，这可用于影响政策、导致技术创新，并鼓励在教育、卫生、工业和更广泛的社会中采取包容性做法。如果这些不同的学科不结合在一起，音乐和残疾的跨学科概念就有可能仍然理论化不足和被误解，导致对残疾人的音乐继续隔离和排斥。作为回应，这一网络将促进目前在残疾和音乐方面采用不同方法、研究目的和结果的领域之间的辩论。这个网络将把来自不同学科领域的学者和专业人员联系起来。该网络将汇集来自音乐教育、乐器科学、音乐技术、心理学、医学和神经科学的研究人员，以及政策制定者、资助者、音乐家、从业者和音乐部门的工作人员。该网络将主办四个多学科和多机构活动。这些活动将包括：圆桌会议、研讨会和黑客马拉松。这些活动将鼓励就当前的研究、问题和令人关切的因素进行讨论和辩论，并提出切实的解决办法和创新办法，以重新思考未来的方法路径、论述和技术。Impact是这个项目的核心。为了使人们能够更广泛地接触和参与，这些活动将通过多种不同的平台传播。该项目将在不同领域产生影响，最终导致联合知识的开发和合作，并在实践中为学术和普通受众所用。这将改善残疾人基于音乐的机会、包容性和社会正义。

The network's aim is to build collaborative and transdisciplinary research partnerships to help understand and overcome the many barriers that disabled people face in accessing music. Disabled people are currently under-represented in most areas of cultural life, and are more likely to face discrimination in areas such as education, employment, and social mobility. In music-making, this underrepresentation can be caused by a number of issues including: attitudinal and institutional barriers, a lack of suitable musical instruments which both meet disabled people's access needs, and allow full participation in musical life; exclusionary practices in music education, socially constructed barriers, health systems and public policy. Furthermore, there is a relative absence of transdisciplinary collaboration and profound differences in language and discourse between fields of research and practice, which compounds this problem. The barriers to full participation in music-making for disabled people are therefore many and complex. One example is that research concerned with music and disability often runs counter to the values of disabled musicians. Overly medicalising an issue can be a product of society rather than embodied pathology. Another issue is that research undertaken by one discipline does not cross-over to another. This is illustrated by new practices in inclusive music education, not informing the design of adapted instruments, which could support musician development. This network recognises that pathways to solutions lie in exchanging knowledge and developing collaborations, which can be used to influence policy, lead to technological innovations, and encourage inclusive practices in education, health, industry and wider society. If these different disciplines do not come together, there is a danger that transdisciplinary notions of music and disability will remain under-theorised and misunderstood, resulting in continued musical segregation and exclusion for disabled people. In response, this network will facilitate debate between fields that currently employ diverse methodologies, research purposes and outcomes in relation to disability and music. This network will connect academics and professionals from diverse disciplinary fields. The network will bring together researchers from music education, instrumental science, music technology, psychology, medical and neurological sciences, as well as policy makers, funders, musicians, practitioners and those working in the music sectors. The network will host four multidisciplinary and multi-agency events. These will include: roundtables; seminars; and a hackathon. The events will encourage discussion and debate regarding current research, issues and factors of concern, and problematise practical solutions and innovations to re-think future methodological pathways, discourse and technologies. Impact is central to this project. To enable wider access and participation the events will be disseminated via a multitude of different platforms. The project will have impact across diverse fields, culminating in joint knowledge development and collaboration, of use for academic and general audiences in practice. This will improve music based opportunities, inclusion and social justice for disabled people.
