Progressive Rock and Metal: Towards a Contemporary Understanding
The 4th Biennial International Conference of the Progect Network for the
Study of Progressive Rock

Hosted by Lori Burns at the University of Ottawa, May 20-22, 2020 (Ottawa,
Canada)

Progressive Rock and Metal: Towards a Contemporary Understanding aims to
explore the past and present contexts of the genres of progressive rock and
metal. The Progect Network has met in France (2014), in Scotland (2016),
and in Sweden (2018). The 2020 meeting will mark the first North American
hosting of this conference and will thus expand participation and open the
scholarly dialogue in exciting ways. This conference will bring together
scholars who have addressed the musical structures and expression of 1970s
progressive rock, as well as scholars working on the more contemporary
manifestations of the progressive. We encourage submissions from scholars
from a range of disciplinary orientations.
