Sociomusicology: Hong Kong Appointment and Doctoral Supervision

Hong Kong Appointment and Doctoral Supervision

It was a great pleasure to officially learn today that I have been re-appointed as Honorary Professor with the Education University of Hong Kong, where I have also served as external evaluator of the creative arts doctoral program. EdUHK is ranked in the world’s top 10 in the field of education. In creative arts there are several excellent colleagues, including Bo-wah Leung, Koji Matsunobu, Yang Yang and Matthew Thibeault.

Recently I also learned that I have once again been invited to teach on a panel for University of Bergen’s university-wide course on doctoral supervision for its lecturers and professors.

Welcome to Sociomusicology

For a decade (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 a Visiting Professor in Sweden with the Malmo Academy of Music (Lund University), 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:28), with professional activities in an average of 8 countries per year across the past decade (2008-2020).
