Abstract

The Future Directions of Music Cognition conference and speaker series incorporated hundreds of scholars presenting their research and dialoguing about what future directions the field of music cognition may take. This proceedings volume fairly represents much of the activity at the conference proper. However, it is difficult for a conference about the future of an academic field to live up to its name during a time of such rapid societal change. This article attempts to somewhat address this gap by thinking through the implications of current events on future directions of music cognition. It is a speculative investigation of three primary issues: social justice and anti-racism, the changing role of science in society, and the challenges of fostering an environment of healthy dialogue in inhospitable times.
