Who creates meaning in music? I've reviewed Janet Bourne's new book Who Listens? A fascinating exploration of how musical meaning emerges through the experiences, identities, and cultures we bring to listening. For music cognition, narrative, & music therapy. journals.qmu.ac.uk/approaches/a...
#AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #AcademicChatter Academia in 2026: Excessive verification that you are a human, when simply trying to access journal articles to read. But no assurances that what I'm then reading is not AI-produced.
