UPDATE (10 December 2022): Click HERE for the project announcement at our university in Norway.

UPDATE (14 November 2022): Here is a link to the RESUPERES project website: https://resuperes.ugr.es/

Happy New Year, 2022! It is a pleasure to announce that we will soon have EU funding to be part of the RESUPERES research project to examine resilience in the higher education sector amidst the pandemic in Portugal, Italy, Serbia, Spain, and Norway.

The RESUPERES project promises to develop new insights into how characteristic behaviors of resilience can be meaningfully instilled in university students involved in various fields, including music and sports which often require physical spaces that are difficult to approximate online.

Project Partners:

*UNIVERSIDAD DE GRANADA (Spain)

*UNIVERSIDADE DO ALGARVE (Portugal)

*UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI SUOR ORSOLA BENINCASA (Italy)

*UNIVERZITET U BEOGRADU (Serbia)

*WESTERN NORWAY UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES (Norway)

University of Granada is the lead institution for RESUPERES, and the Norway coordinator for this project is Prof. Coral Falco.

We also await the results of other grant applications that may generate hopeful new insights for heritage sustainability in these complicated times.

More detailed information and links will be posted here later in 2022.

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).
