Jazz-Trained Women Vocalists with Merinda Dias-Jayasinha

Merinda Dias-Jayasinha is an outstanding, genre-crossing, multi-talented Australian vocalist. Her PhD project at Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music explores jazz-trained women vocalists' experiences of education and professional roles in the music industry. What is unique about Merinda's project is her use of narrative and poetic inquiry methodologies, and the development of techniques informed by an intersectional feminist lens. She uses these methods to explore participant perceptions of intersectional factors facilitating or constraining their career progression and industry engagement. The theme music for Creative Conversations: Research in Music is "Gleam" by Helen Svoboda.
