Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
This panel will showcase the latest research in Sikh Studies from emerging scholars in the study of Sikhs and music, highlighting dynamic approaches and diverse themes. Papers offer a multidisciplinary perspective on Sikh culture, identity, politics and practice. This online panel for emerging scholars looks to emphasise inclusivity and global relevance and aims to inspire collaboration and further research. In particular, this panel explores the intersection of technology, music, and cultural expression in Sikh communities to understand how the transmission of Sikhi is influenced by dynamics of power. The panel includes discussions on the mediation of Sikh Kirtan and the socio-political dimensions of Punjabi popular music particularly in light of government bans on Sikh genres.
