CONFERENCES AND EVENTS
The joint Musicological Society of Australia/New Zealand Musicological Society Conference will be held at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, 2-4 December 2010, hosted by the University's Department of Music.
The deadline for abstracts is 3 May. Abstracts should be sent to Alan Davison, alan.davison@otago.ac.nz

Presenters should be members of the MSA or NZMS at the time of the conference. Membership forms can be found here.
STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS
Last year the MSA assisted eight students and an indigenous speaker in presenting papers at the national conference in Newcastle, covering their airfares in entirety with a further $200 to assist with accommodation. With the conference taking place in New Zealand, we have considerably increased our budget for travel grants this year, and warmly encourage Australian students to submit abstracts and apply for travel assistance as soon as their abstracts have been accepted. Send an email with:
- your name and paper title;
- your institution and course;
- the address from which you will be travelling and likely travel costs; and
- indication of any institutional support you have already secured
to John Phillips, Awards Committee Chair, jphil@iprimus.com.au
Receipt of the application will be confirmed, and the outcome made known within two weeks.
INDIGENOUS SCHOLARSHIPS AND BURSARY
Scholarships to assist MSA indigenous members (current or intentional, who need not be students) with the expenses of travel to the 2010 conference are also available. Applicants should include their name, address, paper or presentation title, and an indication of their anticipated expenses. Again, the application should be sent John Phillips, Awards Committee Chair, jphil@iprimus.com.au
Confirmation of application receipt will be sent, and the outcome made known within two weeks. One indigenous scholar will also receive a bursary covering his or her expenses of attending the conference in entirety.
