  • Katja Sutela, University of Oulu, Finland

    Katja Sutela (she/her) is an adjunct professor and university lecturer in music education at the University of Oulu, Finland. With ten years of experience teaching children with special needs, her work bridges practice and research in inclusive music education. Her doctoral research explored the potential of Dalcroze-based approaches for learners with special needs, and her postdoctoral work examined music education for d/Deaf students, challenging traditional sensory hierarchies in music. Sutela’s current research focuses on inclusive and ecosocial perspectives in music education and on theories of embodiment.
