Join us for a discussion with panel of experts working at the frontier of music, business and peace.
Live Panel
20 July, 10 -11am ET (3 - 4pm UK)
Background
Welcome to an ongoing discussion about topics specifically devoted to the relationship among music, business and peace, hosted by Indiana University and Business Fights Poverty for the months of June, July, and September. This conversation has been the aim of two conferences on “Music, Business, and Peace” at Indiana University led by scholars at the Jacobs School of Music, the Kelley School of Business, and the College of Arts & Sciences. Our intent has been to bring together national and international peace researchers, activists, and artists, to form a collective with the ability to assess and pursue peacemaking activities with the combined power of the tools presented in different disciplines.

Objectives:
- Obtaining a sense of the ways in which business can foster peace.

Questions:
-
Each of the articles suggests that there is something about cultural forces - whether music, sports, or film – that somehow moves people, perhaps in a way that might be conducive to peace or at least to some kind of workplace or social harmony. Could each of you share how that happens/happened in the research you conducted?
-
Given the discussion we just had in the first question, how do you think various cultural forces – again, for now focusing on music, sports and peace but not to exclude other aspects such as gender, business itself, and religion – might shape peace or at least some kind of workplace or social harmony?
-
All the members of our panel are law professors who teach in business schools. How do these forces we have been discussing help to make for more ethical and peacebuilding businesses and how does the law (and business) help peace-related issues pertaining to music, sports, and film?
