Culture–Criticism–Community
The research group brings together researchers with a critical research interest in cultural expressions and participation, arts education didactics, community arts, and artistic environments.
The members are concerned with cultural and artistic practices, critical approaches to education and dissemination, and have a strong orientation toward community and society. These ideas and values are explored both through traditional scholarly research as well as artistic research practices, for example through collaborative and participatory approaches.
The research group is interdisciplinary (music, drama, arts and crafts), cross-institutional, and international. In addition to functioning as a research community, the group serves as an incubator for ongoing and new research projects and for the development of new perspectives within a broad specter of arts teacher education.
In recent years, group members have received funding for and participated in several internal and external projects. Examples include MishMash; Centre for AI and Creativity; ACT-AI Academy; MusikkPedLab; Theatre spaces (Erasmus mundus programme) and more. In addition, our Ph.D.-students work with new projects on AI and education.
Culture–Criticism–Community has a strong output of scholarly publications and dissemination activities. The group is also involved in both national and international networking and engages extensively in different kinds of outreach and community engagement.
