Sociomusicology: International Journal of Music Education Board

7/12/22

International Journal of Music Education Board

It is a pleasure to announce that I have just been appointed to the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Music Education. Published by SAGE, the IJME has a 40-year history. It was first established in 1983 under the editorship of Frank Callaway as an initiative of the UNESCO-affiliated International Society for Music Education, which at that point already had a 30-year history and members in 60 countries worldwide.

For several years I have offered occasional reviews for this journal, so it is reasonable to now be more formally affiliated as a Board member, and I look forward to more actively contributing to quality assurance of this important publication. Music has been such an important part of human life worldwide since ancient times and we need to continue developing deeper knowledge of how it is taught and learned.

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).
