Bergen Summer Research School 2025

“...we can create the momentum needed for systemic shifts,” says Professor Birgit Kopainsky of University of Bergen. Dr. Kopainsky is the scientific director of Bergen Summer Research School 2025, which will take place in Bergen 10-20 June 2025.

The theme of BSRS-2025 is Systems thinking — towards sustainability and justice, to which Kopainsky “will invite some of Norway’s leading researchers to organise a series of parallel PhD courses on alternative directions towards a sustainable future.”

We look forward to offering the PhD course Creative Innovations in Higher Education as part of BSRS-2025, which had to be postponed from BSRS-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).
