In her thesis, Podda examines how the diversity and inclusion measures of Dutch National Opera (DNO) between 2017 and 2021 reflect on the whiteness of the organization. To this end, she examined the program, public, personnel, partners and positioning (the “5 Ps”) as areas where the focus of DNO lies. With her thesis she wants to contribute to the discourse on whiteness and institutional racism within the opera domain and Dutch society, and emphasize critical reflection on the role of diversity and inclusion strategies within these contexts.
This thesis combines cultural theory, social criticism and practical research in an exemplary way
