Sociomusicology: Glocal Teacher and Researcher

6/4/13

Glocal Teacher and Researcher

For the next few days, Bergen University College will be hosting a symposium entitled “The Glocal Teacher and Researcher: Policy, Theory, and Practice.” In addition to Norwegian researchers, we will have special guests from China and New Zealand who specialize in educational policy and have a strong interest in global affairs and international-comparative studies.

Silje Valde Onsrud and I will be giving presentations on our music research, and our a cappella jazz group DATES will also perform at the conference.

Welcome to Sociomusicology

For over 15 years (since 2007), this website has offered musings on contemporary society and its music by David G. Hebert, PhD. He is a sociomusicologist specializing in global music education who has held academic positions with universities on five continents. Dr. Hebert is now a tenured full Professor with Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen. There he leads the Grieg Academy Music Education (GAME) research group and manages the multinational government-funded Nordic Network for Music Education, which organizes annual intensive Master courses and exchange of teachers and students across eight countries. He is also an Affiliated Professor with University of the Faroe Islands and an Honorary Professor in China with the Education University of Hong Kong.

Professor Hebert's research applies an international-comparative perspective to issues of pluralism, identity, and cultural relevance in music education, as well as processes by which new music traditions emerge and change - both sonically and socially - as they are adopted into institutions. Born in the 1970s, he is among the most widely-published and globally-active music scholars of his generation (h-index:20; i10-index:30), with professional activities in an average of 8 countries per year across the past decade (2008-2020).
