My name is Iselin Dagsdotter Sæterdal and since 2020 I’ve been a Ph.D. student at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences at the department of Arts and Cutlrue Studies, within the field of music. 

I am a kindergarten teacher with a master’s degree in Children Culture and Arts Education with music as focus area from Queen Maud University Collage.

The research in my Ph.D. project revolves around digital musicking and the youngest children in the kindergarten and my research is informed by post-human and performative approaches.

  • ANALYZING WITH THE ARTS (2024) author(s): Iselin Dagsdotter Sæterdal published in: University of Inland Norway
    This exposition explores the following question: How might an analysis be done in post-qualitative inquiry and performative approaches? Considering that post-qualitative inquiry rejects pre-existing research designs, methods, processes, procedures, or practices, and acknowledging that a research process will unfold and materialize differently in different projects, my aim is to explore one possible approach to analysis. This approach explored herein is specific to my PhD project. At the same time, I invite you to re-turn (to) the pieces you find fruitful and adjust them to your research. The research material being analyzed in this exposition is informed by my PhD project, which explores what might materialize in the matter of digital musicking when a loop station and 1–3-year-olds meet each other in a kindergarten context. Exploring how an analysis might be done in post-qualitative inquiry and performative approaches, and as the title plays on, the method of analyze is with the arts and take an arts-based approach. This exposition contributes to the fields of early childhood music education, post-qualitative and performative inquiry, and arts-based research. This exposition is included in the anthology "Utfordringer og muligheter innen musikk og utdanning", or "Challenges and Opportunities in Music and Education" in Enlgish. The anthology is published as part of MusPed:Research by the Cappelen Damm Academic publishing house. MusPed:Research is a peer-reviewed series of scholarly publications within the field of music pedagogy. The anthology, of which this exposition is a part, has been peer-reviewed, and this extends to this exposition as well.
