Tore Størvold
About
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Music, where I do research and teaching in musicology. My monograph, Dissonant Landscapes: Music, Nature, and the Performance of Iceland, is published next year by Wesleyean University Press. Read more here.
My particular areas of expertise are ecomusicology and the role of music in the environmental humanities. I am a member of an interdisciplinary network for environmental humanities at my university. I am also taking part in NTNU's research program in the 'blue humanities'.
In my current research, I approach music and music-making as cultural technologies for the promotion of ecological literacy. I am especially interested in music's ability to express varied and exciting concepts of nature.
