- Global perspectives in music education; and
- Specialist themes in music education.
The editor-in-chief is Professor Dawn Bennett.
The two series offer a focused conduit through which members of ISME and their colleagues can publish scholarly and instructional work. ISME also created a partnership strand through which it works with partner organisations around the world to enable publications from diverse contexts and across our membership.
The series reflect domains in which the global ISME membership engages, promising a cohesive body of work that aligns with the mission of the Society and is resonant of scholarship, practice and research undertaken in its name.
