Publications
The below writing outputs have occurred since January 2023. They have been directly enabled by my ARC Fellowship and are a result of the research I am currently undertaking on gender in music and contemporary opera practice. In appreciation of the research support I have received both internationally and in Australia.

The publications below reflect my deep engagement with issues around gender in music, music in interdisciplinary artforms and other topics. They were primarily produced and supported prior to the commencement of my DECRA research. I share them here as they hold relevance to the Emergence project in a broad context.
Reports
Women & Minority Genders In Music
The Women and Minority Genders in Music report by Dr Felicity Wilcox and Dr Barrie Shannon presents new, primary data about the lived experience of over 200 music creators of diverse genders in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand. It provides a unique insight into present-day music creation from practitioners active across a wide spectrum of musical genres. A major contribution this report makes to the comparative literature on gender in music is through its consistent reporting on the professional experiences of music creators who identify as trans and/or gender diverse.
