Public presentation on 13 June
She was one of the first female music journalists to experience and shape the development of punk, reggae, Afrobeat, and jazz at first hand since the late 1970s: Vivien Goldman has been invited by the Paderborn research centre "C:POP – Transdisciplinary Research Center for Popular Music Cultures and Creative Economies" to be the sixth pop lecturer on the "Popular Music and Media" course at Paderborn University. As part of the Cultural Week of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, there will be a public presentation of the results of the English-language seminar "Artivism. Creativity and Activism" on Friday, 13 June at 5 pm in room H7.321. Those interested can register by emailing Joshua Wick. The registration deadline is 10 June.
The life and work of Vivien Goldman
Goldman is also known as the "Punk Professor" and has left her mark on the music scene not only as a journalist, but also as a biographer of Bob Marley, director of music documentaries, and as a musician with the band "The Flying Lizards". She is also a songwriter and author. Her book "Revenge of the She-Punks: A Feminist Music History from Poly Styrene to Pussy Riot" became the basis for university seminars worldwide. She herself has been a lecturer at the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts since 2004. In her new book "Rebel Musix, Scribe on a Vibe: Frontline Adventures Linking Punk, Reggae, Afrobeat and Jazz" (2024), with which she is currently touring Europe on a reading tour, Goldman looks back on five decades of feminist pop music history. It is a collection of her most influential texts that illuminate the connection between music, politics and culture. Prof. Dr. Christoph Jacke, who founded the Popdozentur eleven years ago together with Ulrich Lettermann, is delighted about her visit to Paderborn: "As Vivien Goldman works in a very transdisciplinary way between music, the arts, journalism, and research, she is ideal for our students and C:POP. She is also absolutely committed to fully involving the students right from the digital pre-meetings and turning them into creative teams."
