Sociomusicology: International PhD Scholars in Bergen

International PhD Scholars in Bergen

Bergen Summer Research School has attracted more than 100 PhD students from 30 countries around the world for its program of courses, keynotes, and activities in June 2024.

Although a recent nationwide strike severely disrupted BSRS-2024, causing some course cancellations and sudden teacher substitutions, the strike is now over and most students have managed to fully participate.

Here is a link for the detailed program: https://indd.adobe.com/view/1f359a45-e852-48f6-b04f-5c29218bb204

Here is a link for a press release that describes ongoing activities, including music and events that include the Bergen mayor and the rector (president) of University of Bergen: https://www.uib.no/en/rs/bsrs/171080/hope-science-and-summer-research-school

Below is an image from a performance at the nationwide strike, which is finally over.

UPDATE: I am happy to report that due to the nationwide strike my course Creative Innovations in Higher Education is not actually cancelled, but merely postponed to summer 2025. More information will be posted on the BSRS website by Autumn 2024.

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).
