I am coming towards the end of my PhD this summer (2009), and two more publications are in the pipeline.
The first one is in a festschrift for John Sloboda: Emotions in motion: Transforming conflict and music; in Irène Deliège and Jane Davidson (eds), Music and the Mind: Investigating the functions and processes of music (a book in honour of John Sloboda): Oxford University Press [forthcoming 2009]. This discusses a possible mechanism for music use in conflict transformation through the provision of interruptions.
The second one is with with Tia DeNora: Flexibility and (Dis)engagement – mobile music and the politics of everyday life; in Sumanth Gopinath and Jason Stanyek (eds), Oxford Handbook of Mobile Music and Sound Studies: Oxford University Press [forthcoming]. Data is collected for this paper by a young teenager who interviews her peers thus helping us to fill the 'age-gap' in current literature on iPod/MP3 player use. This helps us capture fresh insights from the group that is most cutting edge when it comes to innovating with the use of mobile technology. |
 This website is set up to present some information about a research PhD I'm currently doing at Exeter University, supervised by Tia DeNora on the topic of music and the role it can play in conflict resolution/transformation programmes. In this context "conflict" refers to the type of conflicts we've seen in the Balkans or Sri Lanka. (image © Cameron Allan 2005) |

 If you've come to this site to find out more about my reserch I guess it might be useful to tell you a bit about myself as well: Originally from Norway, now living in Oxford, UK.
As the topic of my PhD probably reveals, I've always been interested in music and have even managed to get paid to do music related work sometimes, as a listener and journalist/researcher. |
