Streaming
If you are unable to attend the Norwegian Academy of Music in person, you can follow the trial lecture and the public defence via live stream. The stream will not be recorded. The streaming link will be published on the Norwegian site two weeks before the arrangements.
We encourage everyone to attend in person, as in most cases a live stream will not be considered a satisfactory alternative to being present in the Levin Hall. In addition, this is a relatively simple video production, which may result in limitations in terms of sound and image quality.
About the dissertation
The dissertation comprises three articles and a precis. It will be available in Nasjonalt vitenarkiv (nva.sikt.no) two weeks before the public defence. The dissertation language is English.
Supervisors: Professor Sigrid Røyseng, NMH, and Dr. Lisa McCormick, University of Edinburgh
