[As I have mentioned previously, life has been quite hectic over the last year, becoming Head of Department at the same time as getting my second daughter. So my research activities have slowed down considerably, and also the activity on this blog.]{style=“line-height: 1.5;”}

When it comes to blogging, I have focused on building up my Head of Department blog (in Norwegian), which I use to comment on things happening in the Department as well as relevant (university) political issues. My longterm plan, though, is also to write some posts about being Head of Department on this English-language blog.

Today I would like to point to our new department video, targeted at recruiting new students:

The video is made by video journalist Camilla Smaadal, who is also responsible for a set of video presentations of our faculty. Most of these are in Norwegian, but we are planning to add English subtitles through YouTube.

The new video is aiming at giving students an impression of all the cool things happening in our Department. There are a lot of new music education programs popping up everywhere these days, so we realise that we need to be more active in promoting the qualities of our university education. This video is one little step towards this goal.
