Research interests

Oscar Odena joined the University of Glasgow in 2013. His research expertise combines music education, creativity, professional learning and qualitative enquiry, with a focus on how music and creativity can be used as a tool for social inclusion. Since 2007, with grants from The Bernard van Leer Foundation and the UK Economic and Social Research Council, he has carried out extensive fieldwork on the uses of music to alleviate tensions in post-conflict Northern Ireland and to integrate newly arrived children in Scotland. He has applied social psychology theories to investigate the transformative potential of the arts, stimulating debate about effective practice. In collaboration with other researchers he has developed a methodology to study a music program for social reconstruction in Colombia. He has published about these topics in journals such as British Journal of Music Education and Mental Health and Social Inclusion. His edited book Musical Creativity and his monograph Musical Creativity Revisited were published in 2012 and 2018. He is the Principal Investigator of a number of initiatives on the role of social arts programmes in complex settings, supported by funders such as the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). He leads The Arts of Inclusion (TAI) network, www.tai.international. The impact of TAI's research beyond academia has been highlighted by the School of Education. His recent work can be found in his third book for Routledge, Music and Social Inclusion, published in 2023.

Before coming to Glasgow, and after graduating from UCL with a PhD in Education, he worked in music teacher education in Spain. In 2006 he took up a postdoctoral position at Queen’s University Belfast, working on funded research including by the TLRP ESRC. In 2009 he became a Senior Lecturer at the University of Brighton, and in 2010 a Reader at the University of Hertfordshire, where he directed the Doctorate in Education. Over the years, he has developed expertise in international development, having worked for research initiatives by Atlantic Philanthropies and British Council.

Oscar is past Co-Chair of the Research Commission of the International Society for Music Education and serves on the boards of five leading journals. At Glasgow, he is past Director of Postgraduate Research in Education and currently serves in the review colleges of the AHRC and Irish Research Council.
