I have worked with contemporary art since the mid 90s, when I curated my first exhibition and started to write on contemporary art.

In 2001 I finished my thesis on American feminist body and performance art. A subject that has influenced my curatorial and writing practice both before and after the thesis. In 2005 I became dean of the Funen Art Academy, holding on to my practice as curator and writer. In 2009 I became director of the small museum called Museum for Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark, which has a specific focus on sound and performance art and critical practices, as well as a museological focus

In 2014 I returned to art education, when I became rector of the Royal Danish Academy of Art, Schools of Visual Art, Copenhagen. Both at the Funen Art Academy and in Copenhagen I have been preoccupied with developing and structuring the education due to a changing educational

• environment. In Copenhagen I have worked with the BFA and MFA programs, quality assurance and

accreditation, defined the pedagogical base with a point of departure in Student Centered Learning and established the research and KUV department “Institute for art, writing and research”. Throughout the years I have had various positions of trust, among other as member of the Danish Art Council and member the Novo Nordisk Foundation’s committee for art historical, artistic and curatorial research.

Nominated to members of the board, researching/teaching staff Anders Hagberg

I work as a Senior lecturer in improvisation at the Academy of Music and Drama where I teach flute, saxophone and ensemble and conduct several seminars. Since 2012, artistic research and development has been an important part of my work. It started with the artistic development (KU) project Modal improvisation from two perspectives - Nordic jazz and Arabic maqam, which then led to the investigation of musical states, sound and silence. At the moment I'm leading a new KU project called Inner and outer spaces, focusing on a musician's awareness of his inner space of sound and presence, and how it comes alive in the acoustics of the outer space. These works has resulted in the albums Melodic Melange (2014) and Where You Go (2018). I am a flautist, saxophonist and composer and my musical projects are characterized by improvisation and boundary crossing collaborations, often with musicians from different genres and cultures or from art forms such as dance and visual arts. My international collaborations include projects and tours with artists from India, Middle East, Japan, Brazil, West Africa and the United States. I have composed music for films and dance performances and made a substantial number of albums.

Maria Bania

Since 2010 I work at the Academy of Music and Drama, where I have been faculty program director for the programs in church music and acting vice prefect for research. At the moment I am Head of

• Music. I supervise both master and doctoral students and are active as a researcher. My current

research project explores the affective practice of eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century musical

• performers. I find my work as supervisor and artistic researcher very stimulating, and I hope that

artistic research in music continues to develop as a natural and important part of the music scene, music education and society as a whole. I grew up in a medium-size town on the Swedish East-coast. I studied recorder at the Norwegian Academy of Music and baroque flute at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in the Hague. I have worked as a period flutist in the Swedish ensemble Corona Artis and the Danish orchestra Concerto Copenhagen as well as in many other period groups in Sweden and other countries. I have performed as a soloist with Concerto Copenhagen in Tokyo, Slovenia and Copenhagen among other places and recorded flute concertos by J. Agrell and J. A. Scheibe. I also recorded the complete flute sonatas by J. H. Roman. I defended my thesis ”‘Sweetenings’ and ‘Babyonish Gabble’: Flute Vibrato and Articulation of Fast Passages in the 18th and 19th centuries” in 2008 at the University of Gothenburg.

David Carlsson

My name is David Carlsson and I am a senior lecturer in Crafts with specialisation in Ceramic Art. I am based at HDK since 2013 where I work as program director for the bachelor program in Ceramic

• Art. My Teaching time is divided between this program and the joint courses we give in cooperation

with the BA programs in Textile- and Jewellery Art. As a teacher my aim is to create contexts and situations where critical reflection and discussion makes each student develop, both as artist and as discussion partner. To work with a variety of teaching-methods and projects in a group where different experiences meet is challenging but most

• f all exciting and rewarding. I am interested in how the individual expression can grow with help

from the response and experiences of the group and how the discussion helps to connect works to relevant contexts.

My view on the faculty of fine, applied and performing arts as a whole is based on similar thoughts where I believe that we have much in common and a lot of more possibilities for cooperation but where specialisations and areas must be given space and time for growth in their own way, even if it

• f course should happen in dialogue with the surrounding world!

As an artist I like to work in the tension between the obvious, almost banal narrative and the poetic and multi-layered. Here I find space to embrace and criticise, wonder and answer, in the same work

• r project. To me the ceramic material is both an artistic medium and a referential point and it gives

always new possibilities to interpret, re-form and give new meanings to situations, objects and concepts. Publications, David Carlsson

Carina Borgström Källén

I am assistant professor of music education at the Academy of Music and Drama, where I teach and supervise students at undergraduate and doctoral level, mainly in the field of music education. I´m also employed as the director of studies for degree projects in the teacher education programme for dance, music and theater. I have a PdD in arts education, a degree as a music teacher and a professional background as a teacher in municipal arts school, at the aesthetics programme in upper secondary school and in the teacher education programme. I also have a university degree as a musician, and have previously been performing on a freelance basis. In the autumn of 2014 I was awarded a prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Music for my dissertation När musik gör skillnad – genus och genrepraktiker i samspel (When Music Makes a Difference – Gender and Genre Practice in Interplay). My research is concentrated to areas that in various ways relate to education and identity in artistic pedagogical practices, with a particular focus on aspects such as genre practices, norms, norm critique, gender, equality and intersectionality. Among my ongoing research projects it is worth mentioning a longitudinal study running 2016-2021: Musiklärarstudenters syn på motivation, lärande och professionella mål (Music Teachers View of Motivation, Learning and Professional Goals), as well as a study of music education and gender, in which a development project is investigated in retrospect. One of my concluded projects of note is a study carried out in cooperation with Birgitta Sandström, associate professor at Stockholm University of the Arts. This is a study of subject conception in dance and vocal training in relation to the performing body as an instrument for learning. I am frequent lecturer outside of GU, and has presented my research at the Swedish Embassy in Washington D.C. and at the Swedish Arts Council. Publications, Carina Borgström Källén

Nominated to replacement, researching/ teaching staff Tyrone Martinsson

Jag är universitetslektor på Akademin Valand, där jag undervisar och handleder

I am a senior lecturer at the Valand Academy, where I teach and supervise students at undergraduate and doctoral level in photography. In 2003 I was awarded a PhD at the University of Westminster in London for my dissertation Photographic Archaeology and Nils Strindberg’s Photographs from the Andrée Polar Expedition 1896-

• 1897. I worked with photographs as documents and artistic representations, to show how photo

archives and collections can be brought to life. My research focuses on photography and visual communication in relation to environment, landscape and climate, and the human–environment relation – so-called environmental

• photography. I am particularly interested in how historical and contemporary photographic images

can be used to explore different aspects of the human–environment relation, and how our views on the landscape and the nature change over time. During the last few years I have performed research on the Arctic and the re-photographic methods for cross-disciplinary studies that address climate, environment and historical descriptions of the polar landscape.

Nominated to member of the board, technical/administrative staff Eva Agblad

Jag började på GU som institutionssekreterare på Utbildningsvetenskapliga fakulteten 2000 som då I began working at the University of Gothenburg in 2000 – as a Department Secretary at the Faculty

• f Education, which was then situated just outside Gothenburg, in Mölndal. At that time I was

responsible for pre-school teacher training programmes and recreation instructor programmes, to then also begin to work with what was called "The New Teacher Training Programme" (LP01) and the core courses that were relevant at that point in time. My working tasks also included timetabling and the Time Edit project, which was then developed to become a University-wide programme for timetabling and booking rooms. I continued to work with the teacher training programme and the specialisations that were related to primary school and younger children even when the Faculty moved into Gothenburg. When NyA (a University admissions system) was being launched, I worked for one year (2007-2008) as a temporary Admissions Officer at what was then the University Admissions Division. I have been working at the Academy of Music and Drama since 2009, where I now work as an Education Officer. I have, among other things, also taken an active part in developing working processes for our Programmes Administration, in implementing the web portal for admissions: antagning.se, as well as in a number of processes related to the reorganisation of the Academy. I am presently working with the Music Collegium and the wide range of specialisations it offers at both bachelor’s and master’s levels. As a representative on the Faculty Board I try to pay particular attention to, as well as monitor and prioritise, issues related to administration – in order to ensure that administrators are visible in agenda items being discussed – especially at present when a new organisation is being planned for

• 2025. My motto is that students should always be our key focus, and that academic administration,

as well as the significance of the role of administration as a whole, should also be given particular emphasis, as well as a special place in discussions.
