Tore Størvold
Background and activities
I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Music, where I do research and teaching in musicology. My particular areas of expertise is ecomusicology and the role of music in the environmental 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 musical pathways towards sustainable models of human-nature relations, with a particular emphasis on the oceans. My postdoctoral project is affiliated with the interdisciplinary research group, NTNU Oceans.
