177 - Women's Musical Leadership Online Network (WMLON)
What this challenge is about
The Women’s Musical Leadership Online Network (WMLON) currently exists as an AHRC-funded research network which explores women’s musical leadership in the contemporary music industries and within music education and aims to interrogate the role which mentorship plays in developing women’s leadership potential. WMLON is led by Dr Laura Hamer (The Open University, PI) and Prof Helen Julia Minors (York St John University, Co-I).
Through developing WMLON as an OSC, we aim to gain a better understanding of women's musical leadership and its role in supporting the next generation of women musicians, scholars, and educators. Thus, WMLON aims to contribute positively to achieving greater gender equity with the music industries and speaks clearly to the tackling inequality theme.
