2022 Jeffrey Cheah Scholars-in-Residence Programme: Brasenose College, University of Oxford
Dr Mayco Santaella, Associate Professor at the Department of Film & Performing Arts and Associate Dean (International) for the School of Arts, was awarded the 2022 Jeffrey Cheah Scholars-in Residence fellowship to spend four weeks at Brasenose College, University of Oxford. During his residency in the UK, he will visit other partner institutions including Lancaster University and discuss arrangements for a planned summer school and International Arts Festival that will take place in 2023 at Sunway University.
Dr Mayco intends to work on the development of a number of activities that will lead to the publication of a book on the popularisation of heritage and music traditions. He will be working with Dr. Sarah Hill, Associate Professor of Popular Music at St Peter’s College as well as colleagues at Oxford to plan a jointly organised symposium that ideally will be held on-site at Sunway University focusing on the popularisation of heritage and music traditions. Additionally, he will develop a book proposal on the topic for submission to reputable publishers and develop links and explore collaboration possibilities with the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and the School of Arts.
Congratulations, Dr Mayco!
