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、比较和对比贝尔法斯特和都柏林女性在电子舞曲场景中的经历。这项研究将探讨两个城市与技术、设计和商业化的历史、社会和物质接触对女性作为DJ、制片人、俱乐部常客、音响和灯光工程师、预订代理、推广者、场馆所有者和视觉艺术家角色的影响。通过分析身份、性别平等以及包容和排斥进程等问题，该项目将对女性参与音乐技术的方式随着时间的推移而发生变化提供新的见解。

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.
