Clare Hall
Clare Hall (PhD) is Lecturer in Performing Arts, Monash University, Australia. Her research, educational and artistic practice coalesces around music, sound and performance to promote social justice through arts participation. Her interdisciplinary scholarship bridges boundaries between the arts, education, and cultural sociology, with her key contribution to date in music and gender that is the subject of her book Masculinity, Class and Music Education (2018). Clare’s scholarship draws on her background as a musician, dancer, performer, school-based and community-based educator. This drives her work with pre-service and in-service teachers, school students and the wider community that aims to orchestrate inclusive social spaces for creativity and community strengthening across the lifespan. Clare is passionate about the part critical listening, sonic arts, and music making can play in decolonising music education, which she brings to her role as Co-founder/Leader of the Decolonising and Indigenising Music Education special interest group of the International Society for Music Education.
