Research on and about music has assumed a multitude of qualitative and quantitative paradigms and methodologies. While this great variety in research has yielded fascinating insights into musical, cultural and social processes and effects, there is little communication between those who adopt either the qualitative or quantitative research stances, even when the research questions are highly related. This panel is an attempt to remedy that shortfall by fostering a discussion between distinguished researchers on music and media. These researchers will present their current research in the contexts of assumptions and delimitations of their fields as well as potential broader impacts.
