Danielle's doctoral research focussed on the ethical and methodological deliberations involved in cross-cultural research in the majority world. This project investigated how musician-teachers' co-constructing of visions could contribute knowledge about the development of context-specific music teacher education in times of fast-paced social change and globalisation, and aimed to contribute to co-developing Nepal's first government-recognised music teacher education program.
