Music Research Seminar at Royal Holloway
Join us for our recent Department of Music Research Seminar, featuring some of the world's leading researchers in music.
About the speaker
Wayne Weaver is an alumnus of Cambridge University and a member of Wolfson College, where he read for a PhD in historical musicology. His ongoing research focuses on the sonic and social cultures of late eighteenth-century Jamaica, particularly the roles played by Black women in early accounts of Jamaican street pageantry.
Wayne’s doctoral thesis explored the life and creative outputs of the Anglo-Jamaican organist Samuel Felsted (1743-1802), observing how his musicking (and that of Kingston’s European-origin minority) contributed to the construction of a racialised white-Creole identity. In addition to his research, Wayne is interested in how social politics shapes access to music education today. He lectures on issues in jazz studies at King’s while holding various other academic and professional organist roles in London and Cambridge.
Car parking
When you arrive for a College event at our Egham campus, please park in car parks 12 or 4.
Car park 12 can be accessed by turning right as you enter the main College gates and is located next to the tennis courts. If this car park is full, please drive further onto our campus to car park 4, which can be accessed by turning left at the mini-roundabout behind the Students’ Union. We would advise that you bring the College map to campus with you and give yourself plenty of time to park.
Blue Badge holders can find designated parking spaces in Car park 1W, as well as between Gardeners Lodge and the Williams Annexe. You can find these locations by looking at our campus map opposite. If you require any assistance on arrival, please contact our premises team in advance of your visit by emailing: premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk and they will be happy to help.
Please note that we operate an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system on certain parts of our campus, however if you are here for an organised event, parking is unrestricted for event guests in car parks 12, 4 or 14 (or display your blue badge permit if parking in a disabled bay).
