Music, Research and Activism conference in Helsinki 10 May 2023 - Ecopolitics
Music education, professionalism, and eco-politics (EcoPolitics) interrogates the knowledge gap between music educators’ professional self-awareness in music education and their civic responsibilities as professionals in an age of uncertainty, eco-crises, and systemic ‘wicked problems’.
On May 10th, 2023 Tuulikki Laes presented a conference paper co-authored with Danielle Treacy and Katja Thomson titled "Artists for a sustainable future: Art-science activism within higher music education" at the Music, Research and Activism conference organized by the University of the Arts Helsinki, the University of Helsinki and Suoni Ry.
This paper grew out of their work in the project ARSADAPT: Artists for a sustainable future. The project is a transdisciplinary collaboration between higher music education teachers and students at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki and sustainability researchers from the fields of environmental sciences in the Adaptation and Resilience for Sustainable Growth project funded by the Strategic Research Council.
