Prosjektkatalog

Resonating Rights aims to facilitate new dialogues across ethnomusicology, music therapy, music performance, music education and human rights studies. By developing community-centered curriculum and short-term courses, our objective is to internationalize students in these disciplines. Through bilateral collaboration between Norwegian and Brazilian universities, we seek to enhance music studies and human rights education. Our aim is to develop more participatory and socially relevant courses in music studies with a shared emphasis on how music can foster diversity, give voice and help fight social exclusion and advance human rights. Our project will devise a model for implementing inclusive practices in arts education and the social sciences.

With the goal of fortifying our newly formed partnership, we anticipate that Resonating Rights will lead to increased collaboration between our institutions and the creation of a promising exchange model for reciprocal student mobility. The project will be a key component in delivering truly interdisciplinary hands-on course materials that could potentially be integrated into several other disciplines, targeting arts education in general, as well as the social sciences and humanities through its shared emphasis on voice, social inclusion and cultural diversity.

The project will be executed in three stages: 1) mutual academic staff mobility, contributing to the development of a durable partnership and exchange of educational experiences through workshop teaching, 2) a reciprocal blended learning intensive workshop model, facilitating small interdisciplinary student projects between Norwegian and Brazilian students and offering internationalization-at-home opportunities, and 3) a new course curriculum that will be tested and co-developed through the project, and that can easily be integrated into the study program structure at the participating institutions. In all stages, online learning platforms will facilitate teamwork, knowledge exchange, and curriculum development.

By drawing on insights from the broader interdisciplinary field of Human Rights, and its close link to the UN’s sustainability goals, we hope that we can develop more inclusive and participatory music courses in all fields modelled on diversity. We also believe that increased collaboration between these fields of music study, and the interdisciplinary field of human rights research, will improve research and teaching in the wider field of music.

We anticipate the project to also serve as a cornerstone for future research collaborations between our institutions, as the partnership constellation is rooted in mutual research interests and individual collaboration among researchers. Lastly, Resonating Rights will offer crucial internationalization perspectives from outside the EEA to our institutions, particularly since arts education has lacked international perspectives since the introduction of study fees in Norway in 2023.
