  • Written Evidence Submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof
    Written evidence submitted by Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) Submission to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Select Committee’s Inquiry into Economics of Streaming From May 2020, an independent academic research team of Dr Hyojung Sun (Ulster University), Prof. David Hesmondhalgh (University of Leeds) and Dr Richard Osborne (Middlesex University) have been conducting an independent research project to investigate music creators’ earnings in the digital age. The project is funded by the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and NESTA’s Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) and supported by a Steering Board of industry stakeholders including the Ivors Academy, the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), the Musicians’ Union (MU), PRS for Music, the Association of Independent Music (AIM). Other industry stakeholders have also been invited to join the board. The aim of the research is to deliver independent and robust evidence on how changes in the digital music marketplace have impacted upon the earnings of music creators and therefore facilitate an informed debate. In this research, we define music creators as an overarching term to describe recording artists and songwriters. The impetus of this project stems from the lack of evidence in this contentious area of research, which in return has led to a polarised debate based on anecdotes and perceptions. The music creator community argue that the lion’s share of streaming revenues goes to major labels and that this business model is based on the reward system created in the pre-digital era. The recorded industry however argues that there should be greater recognition of the significant and risky investment they continue to make in artist development and marketing.

  • Book of Abstracts
    Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Conference 2019 Disability Studies: Past, Present and Future Book of abstracts CDS Leeds #CDSPGConf19 1 Keynote Presentation by Professor Roger Slee Title: Writing fiction – the case of inclusive education and students with disabilities. Notwithstanding espoused commitment to UNCRPD (2006) by education jurisdictions around the world, the educational experiences of children and young people with disabilities do not live up to the promise of inclusive education. Recent reviews of education for students with disabilities in Australia collectively build a narrative of exclusion. Educational exclusion is a stubborn foe. This address will attempt to move beyond critique to identify levers for building the capacity of schools to build inclusive educational cultures. Biography: Roger Slee is the Vice-Chancellor’s appointment to Chair of Education at the University of South Australia. He has previously held research chairs at The University of Western Australia, Goldsmiths College University of London, Victoria University and the Institute of Education UCL where he was the Chair of Inclusive Education. Roger is the former Dean of Education at Goldsmiths, The University of Western Australia and Magill. He holds an honorary chair in critical studies in education at The University of Auckland in New Zealand. He is currently working on major inclusive education projects in Ethiopia and Queensland. Roger is the Founding Editor of the International Journal of Inclusive Education and is on the Editorial Boards of many other journals. He is also the Editor of an important book series published by Sense Publishers. This Series ‘Studies in Inclusive Education’ focuses on the ways in which schools contribute to the failure of different student identities on the basis of gender, race, language, sexuality, disability, socio-economic status and geographic isolation.
