Sociomusicology: Doctoral Summer School in Hong Kong

7/3/24

Doctoral Summer School in Hong Kong

Soon I will be taking a group of PhD students from Norway to participate in a summer school event at Education University of Hong Kong: The 2024 International Postgraduate Roundtable and Research Forum cum Summer School, with the theme "Innovations and Sustainability: Shaping Education and Global Futures".

This event includes keynote presentations by professors from Education University of Hong Kong, Lancaster University, University of Auckland, University of Reading, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Michigan State University and Pennsylvania State University.

Our PhD students come from diverse fields including performing arts education, business education, and early childhood education, and have quite interesting dissertation projects.

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).
