SHORT
BIOGRAPHIC DETAILS
I am currently employed as an Assistant Professor of
Music Education and Music Psychology at the Department of Music Studies,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Beside my piano performance studies at the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki and the University of Music Freiburg (Hochschule für Musik), Germany, I have earned a law degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, an M.A. in music education and music psychology from the School of Music, Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. from the School of Music, Northwestern University. My dissertation was given the “Outstanding
Dissertation in Music Education Award” in 1998 by the Council for Research in Music
Education (CRME).
I am a member of the Editorial Board of the journals Music Education Research and International Journal of Music Education: Research. I
am also associated with the Center for the Study of Education and the Musical
Experience (CSEME), School of Music, Northwestern University, as a
research fellow. My publications and conference presentations concern a closer interaction between the artistic, scientific, and pedagogical aspects of temporal experience in music, on the one hand, and creativity, imagination, and society, on the other.
As the founder and coordinator of the interdisciplinary research project C.A.L.M. (Community Action in Learning
Music) my music teaching aims for a music education that breaks down the social, artistic, and pedagogical gap between university music students and students of "neglected" public and/or hospital schools who are excluded from the public sphere of music education, expression, and creativity—due to their geographical, economic, cultural, and political isolation. The DVD “Students Teaching Students,” created for the 20th year anniversary of the School of Fine Arts,
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, documents a sample of innovative teaching
demonstrations at Greek and Cypriot schools by senior students enrolled in“Introduction to Music Education,” one of the courses which I teach since
the spring of 1998.
During my sabbaticals I was an
invited researcher/professor at the University of Cyprus (School of Education) in 2001 and at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, (Musicology Department) in 2004 and 2010 (currently from April until September 2010).
An autonomous society, a truly democratic society, is a society which questions everything that is pre-given and by the same token liberates the creation of new meanings. In such a society, all individuals are free to create for their lives the meanings they will (and can).
