Professor

Tiri Beate Bergesen Schei

Field of work

I am Head of the strategic research program "Arts, Creativity and Cultural Practices" (KKKP). Nine research groups are part of this program and research is carried out on creative, artistic and cultural practices with relevance to education, culture and society.

I have a music professional background, and extensive experience as a teacher, performer, choir conductor, supervisor, and educator within the University College system. My research interests are related to "Bildung" and identity processes, with a special emphasis on connections between voice and identity in both teaching and artistic expression on stage.

I am an active researcher in BarnKunne - Center for Kindergarten Research https://www.hvl.no/om/barnkunne/ and in the research group Voice InFormation https://www.hvl.no/forsking/gruppe/sang-i-danning /

I have worked actively with research schools, and among other things participated in the establishment of Grieg Research School in Interdisciplinary Music Studies (GRS), of which HVL is one of the owners. I was a member of the "Scientific Advisory Board" of GRS (2010-2020).



Courses taught

I supervise on Master and PhD level, and have since 2017 been the course coordinator of PHD902: Theory of Science, Ethics and Academic Text Work, at FLKI's PhD program «Studies of Bildung and pedagogical practices».


Research areas

As a researcher, I have explored emotional, relational, and cultural aspects of singing in the span between the joy of singing and voice shame. My recent research targets art-based approaches in education and themes related to creative and artistic processes. In recent years, my research interests have shifted towards narrative research.
