PLEASE NOTE: Due to unforeseen family circumstances, we’re very sorry to announce that we are cancelling our upcoming webinar with Jennie Tiderman-Österberg. We apologise for any inconvenience, and we hope to reschedule for later in the year.

Welcome on Tuesday 9 June to a webinar with our very own Jennie Tiderman-Österberg. Jennie has recently defended her PhD in musicology at Örebro University, where she explored the Scandinavian herding call, kulning, from an ecomusicological, (eco)feminist, and posthumanist perspective. As she writes:

“If singing with cows has taught me anything, it is that the voice that I once called my own is equally theirs. How we move together, work together, and live together, shape the emergence of songs and herding calls – all as unique as each moment. In this webinar, I will talk about how I studied vocal herding music as an affective interspecies affair, and what the cows, goats, and sheep have taught me about said music. The webinar will transform into a workshop where we will look into actual herding situations through moving images to analyse and discuss why singing emerged the way it did in those specific moments.”

Jennie Tiderman-Österberg, PhD, is a singer and an ecomusicologist. Her research interests are posthumanism, new materialism, and multi- and transspecies musicking, and her doctoral thesis is a study of Nordic herding music as interspecies communication. She holds a position as ethnomusicologist at Dalarnas museum, Sweden, and she is artistic director and producer of the internationally renowned cosplay ensemble Eldandili Fantasy Choir.
