My name is Alix Didier Sarrouy. I am a 41-year-old French sociologist and musician with a Ph.D. in Sociology of Art and Culture from Sorbonne Nouvelle University and Minho University (2017). Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Instituto de Etnomusicologia - Centro de Estudos em Música e Dança (INET-md), at the Faculty for Social Sciences and Humanities of the NOVA University in Lisbon, Portugal. For the past 15 years, I have specialised in the sociology of music and ethnomusicology, applying ethnographic methods to study different types of artistic expression serving as tools for education/emancipation, with socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in Europe and Latin America. In 2020, I was awarded a highly competitive individual grant by Portugal’s national Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, CEEC) for a six-year research project named ‘IncArt – Migrants and Refugees in Europe: Arts as Tools for Sociocultural Inclusion’. Between 2022 and 2023, I was the Principal Investigator of the project ‘YouSound – Music Education as an Inclusive Tool for Underage Refugees in Europe’, financed by FCT. Until December 2020, I was an assistant researcher for the project ‘ArtCitizenship – Young People and the Arts of Citizenship: Activism, Participatory Culture and Creative Practices’, also financed by FCT. I have published articles in four languages and in specialised journals, as well as contributed chapters to international books. In 2022, I published two books: as author, "Atores da Educação Musical"; and as co-editor and co-author, "A arte de construir cidadania". I am the first co-editor of two Thematic Issues: one for Portuguese/Brazilian journal Cadernos de Arte e Antropologia (2020), titled “Prácticas Artísticas Colectivas y sus Potenciales Socio-Políticos”; and another for the UK-based journal Music and Arts in Action, titled “Music education among refugee and migrant youths: sharing, belonging, including” (to be published in march 2025). Since 2020, I have given one-semester lectures on the Sociology of the Arts and also Cultural Mediation, for the BA course in Produção e Programação Cultural at the School for Arts and Design of the Leiria Polytechnic Institute (60 hours per semester). I am affiliated with INET-md’s research group on 'Ethnomusicology and Popular Music Studies', and my research interests are particularly linked to the Institute’s thematic line on 'Power, Politics, Activism', which I have been coordinating since 2024.
