Dr. ANNA RAMSTEDT

I'm a music researcher and a music pedagogue. My research interest include sexual harassment, emotional abuse, feminism, power discrepancies, gender, and whiteness in classical music culture.

In my doctoral research (University of Helsinki) Classical Music, Misconduct, and Gender: A feminist study on social imaginaries and women musicians’ experiences of gender inequality in Finland (2024) I studied harassment, abuse, whiteness and gender inequality in the classical music culture in Finland. I also gives talks and lectures on how to prevent sexual harassment, grooming, emotional abuse, and abuses of power in early and higher music education.  

I'm working as a post doc researcher in the project "The burden of history and prospects for equality in classical music culture". The research project is funded by Otto Malm foundation. Additionally, I work in the research project Music Scholar's in Society funded by the Kone Foundation and led by Adjunt Professor Juha Torvinen.
