• +3 more

Cecilia Jeppsson serves as a Senior Lecturer at Halmstad University's School of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, teaching within the preschool teacher education program while maintaining active research in cultural education systems. Her academic foundation includes a 2020 doctoral degree in Aesthetics with educational science specialization from the University of Gothenburg. Education: Ph.D. in Aesthetics (Educational Science focus), University of Gothenburg, 2020 Her research program critically examines structural barriers to inclusion in Swedish kulturskolor (community music/arts schools), with particular emphasis on leadership approaches, institutional collaboration, and strategies for disrupting cycles of cultural reproduction. Drawing from her professional background as a wind and ensemble instructor within the kulturskola system, she investigates how demographic patterns—particularly the overrepresentation of Swedish-born girls from highly educated families—perpetuate educational inequity. Current work explores practical interventions for creating more accessible arts education environments through policy implementation and pedagogical innovation. Analysis of her publication trajectory (2018-2024) reveals an evolving research arc: early works established foundational evidence of social reproduction mechanisms, while recent publications (2022-2024) prioritize actionable leadership strategies and inclusion frameworks. Her scholarship consistently bridges theoretical analysis of cultural capital with practical solutions for broadening participation, maintaining focus on teacher perspectives, institutional positioning, and systemic barriers within Nordic cultural education contexts. No scientific awards or student supervision records appear in available documentation. Her professional activities center on teaching responsibilities within teacher education programs and scholarly contributions to music education equity discourse, without indication of grant-funded projects or laboratory affiliations in the provided materials.
