iaspm-header1Welcome to the web page for the Nordic branch of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM). The main goal of the Nordic Branch is to provide a forum for those involved in the study of Popular Music in Nordic countries, to meet and to exchange information. Special interest has been given to the history of Popular Music in the Nordic countries.

IASPM is an international organization established to promote inquiry, scholarship and analysis in the area of popular music. Founded in 1981, IASPM has grown into an international network of more that 700 members world-wide. On national and international levels, the organization’s activities include conferences, publications, and research projects designed to advance an understanding of popular music and the processes involved in its production and consumption. To build a large and diverse body of knowledge of popular music, IASPM is an organization which is both interprofessional and interdisciplinary. It welcomes as members anyone involved with popular music. To preserve its autonomy, the association remains independent of all commercial and governmental interests.

In 2010 IASPM Norden will organise a conference on Music, Law and Business. The event will take place on 24–27 November in Helsinki, Finland. Call for Papers continues until 15 December 2009. More information under mlb conference.
