Across the
past two weeks, PhD students from several countries joined the course I taught
for Bergen Summer Research School entitled Cultural
Policy: Arts Heritage and Sustainability. We included some excellent guest
lecturers, such as Mary Miller (Director of Bergen National Opera) and
Norwegian scholars Tore Sætersdal (anthropologist) and Ole Marius Hylland (policy analyst).
The PhD students came from Germany, Brazil/Sweden, Canada, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Ghana, and South Africa. We are now developing a book based on these two international cultural policy PhD courses held in 2018 and 2019.

PLEASE NOTE: PhD students from other universities are welcome to take these exciting intensive courses in Bergen -- in English -- for ECTS European transfer credits.
Although music, education, and global studies continue to be the major themes in my research and teaching, I am increasingly interested in devising improvements to the ways that governments support arts and cultural heritage through various kinds of institutions.
