Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Issue 18:2 of the International Journal of Community Music ( IJCM ) includes a literature review of ‘trauma-informed practices’ (Hansen), five research studies (Moufarrej; Fraser; Odena, Mateos-Moreno and Salinas-Maceda; Martin; Pitupumnak and Saibunmi) and book review (Kinnunen) of Dave Camlin’s (2023) recent book, Music Making and Civic Imagination: A Holistic Philosophy . Martin studied a music workshop, ‘Togetherness through music: Uniting Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia’, aimed at conflict transformation. It is a classic example of a one-off interventionist workshop model. Three of the articles (Fraser; Moufarrej; Odena, Mateos-Moreno and Salinas-Maceda) can be considered as case studies of the ongoing intervention-based work of specific organizations (Common Wheel in Glasgow, the Fayha Choir and Sounds of Change in Syria and EnseñARTE in Cochabamba). Pitupumnak and Saibunmi’s study of the Intergenerational Choir Project at Chiang Mai University also represents an intervention, but of a university–community partnership rather than an NGO or charity-based organization. Community music examples examined by the researchers include choir programming in Syrian refugee camps (Moufarrej), intergenerational choirs in Thailand (Pitupumnak and Saibunmi), a youth empowerment music programme for impoverished youth in Bolivia (Odena, Mateos-Moreno and Salinas-Maceda), a settler–First Nations conflict transformation project in Australia (Martin) and a programme in Scotland for people with mental health issues (Fraser).

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
