Christine Peham

Christine Peham is a Senior Scientist at the Mozarteum University, holding a post in the Department of Music Education Innsbruck within the School of Music & Art Education (SOMA). She also serves as the Rectorate Representative for University Didactics and is affiliated with the Institute for Equality & Gender Studies. Her academic background includes studies in music and German studies at Mozarteum University and Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck, with ongoing doctoral research at Cologne's University of Music and Dance under Anne Niessen, focusing on professional music education teacher research using empirical social research methods.

Her research interests span the intersection of occupational psychology and music education, with a systemic-constructivist approach to examining structural gender equality, career socialization factors, and organizational development. She actively collaborates with cultural institutions like 'klangspuren' to implement music education projects that address power dynamics, biography reflection, and institutional culture. Notable projects include 'klangspuren 2.0' and 'mo*BIL*DING*dong', emphasizing innovative participatory music creation with youth.

Her recent work highlights institutional change management, as seen in her 2024 analysis of Code of Conduct implementation. Earlier research has explored gender representation in music teaching roles (2019), interdisciplinary challenges in teacher training programs (2017), and assessment center methodologies for fair admissions (2017). Her publications also reflect a focus on bridging theory and practice, including conference impact evaluations and digital pedagogy innovations.

Despite extensive research output, no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned. Her advising and grant activities remain undocumented in the provided texts. She maintains active collaborations through the Mozarteum's outreach initiatives and participatory music projects, contributing to both local and international music education discourse.
