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.  

In my postdoctoral research I am specialising in the prevention of misconduct within the music industry by supporting higher music education students socioemotional skills and consent training. My research is supported by Jenny and Antti Wihuri foundation.
