Music and the 'sweet science' of boxing - a public lecture with Dr Simran Singh

Posted on: 22 April 2021 in Posts

IPM associate researcher Dr Simran Singh will be giving a public lecture as part of the University of Liverpool's 2021 Series of Public Lectures in the Arts.

Music features prominently in the training and practice of sport, enhancing athletic performances and in media representations of competitive events. Adding an original perspective, Dr Simran Singh - Leverhulme Early Career Fellow with the Department of Music - presents ethnographic research conducted amongst elite professional and amateur boxers and kickboxers in London.

She compares how sporting and musical vocabularies, such as rhythm, groove and flow, are used and fused to identify, articulate and enjoy the sweet science of boxing practice.

The lecture will be followed by a live Q&A session. Sign up for free via this link and please join us.
