Happy to share that 4 papers have gone "first view" in the Journal of the Royal Musical Association! They form a themed round table: "Audiency beyond the Concert Hall: Theory and Ethnographic Case Studies" — a long-term collab with Lara Pearson (Cologne) & Sam Horlor (Durham).

When we consider children in cultural evolution, we tend to cast them as recipients of adult culture. In our BBS target article, @sheinalew.bsky.social & I argued there's more: through 'peer cultures', children actively drive cultural adaptation. Our final paper + a rich set of responses is out now!

How to think about culture in psychology and neuroscience? What about seeing it as a source and product of perceptual plasticity? Such an inspiring journey to co-write this paper with R Polak, A Danielsen, N Jacoby, L Pearson, S Horlor, S Aubinet, J London. osf.io/preprints/ps... Feedback welcome!
