Happy to share that 4 papers have gone "first view" in the Journal of the Royal Musical Association! They form a themed round table: "Audiency beyond the Concert Hall: Theory and Ethnographic Case Studies" — a long-term collab with Lara Pearson (Cologne) & Sam Horlor (Durham).

When we consider children in cultural evolution, we tend to cast them as recipients of adult culture. In our BBS target article, @sheinalew.bsky.social & I argued there's more: through 'peer cultures', children actively drive cultural adaptation. Our final paper + a rich set of responses is out now!

Excited to share our review is now in press at Physics of Life Reviews. Building on the preprint @sylvienozaradan.bsky.social shared months ago — co-written with A Danielsen, N Jacoby, L Pearson, S Horlor, S Aubinet, and J London. doi.org/10.1016/j.pl... #RhythmPerception #CulturalEvolution
