Our Israeli partner investigator, Motti Regev, is currently visiting Brisbane and will be presenting a seminar paper at Griffith's Gold Coast campus today. His paper will provide a summary of key themes arising from the interview data collected in July/August 2011, when Sarah and he conducted fieldwork in Tel Aviv.
Also at the seminar, Sarah will be presenting a paper about the social and cultural functions of the Victorian Jazz Archive. The paper, co-authored with Alison Huber, considers the important work being done at this DIY institution by volunteers as they seek to collect, preserve and make public Australia's jazz history.
This lunchtime seminar will be held in G02 2.09 from 12-1.30pm.

Our research in Israel
The international component of the project began in earnest this month with Sarah's arrival in Tel Aviv, Israel. Sarah is working closely with one of the project's partner investigators, Professor Motti Regev (The Open University of Israel), and together they will be interviewing a range of people invested in preserving and documenting Israel's popular music heritage. In preparation for the trip Sarah viewed the 12 part documentary series End of the Orange Season, which charts the development of Israeli rock music. In addition to speaking with producers of that series, Sarah also plans to visit The Music Department Collections at The National Library of Israel and the music library at the army radio station Galei Tzahal. Sarah will be based in Tel Aviv until 15 August when the research moves to the UK.
