The field of popular musicology has opened up exciting new avenues for exploring the intricate relationship between popular music and a wide array of social identities, including gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, locality, and more. In recognition of the profound impact that Stan Hawkins' work has had on the study of gender and identity in musicology since the early 1990s, this book presents a collection of original essays dedicated to his legacy.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry and popular culture, musicological approaches have undergone a remarkable proliferation and evolution. Reflecting this diversity, the book spans a wide range of musical contexts, eras, and idioms, critically investigating the discursive structures that govern the processes through which music is mobilized as a focal point for negotiating and assessing identity.

Contributions from esteemed scholars at the forefront of the field ensure that Popular Musicology and Identity provides a comprehensive account of the state of popular musicology at the dawn of the 2020s. At the same time, it serves as a platform for further advancing the critical study of popular music and identity, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration.

This collection of essays offers a valuable resource for scholars across various disciplines, including popular music studies, musicology, gender studies, and media studies. It sheds light on the complex interplay between music, identity, and society, contributing to our understanding of the role that popular music plays in shaping and reflecting our cultural identities.
