RESEARCH INTERESTS

In my research I combine musical analysis with interpretation of literary, visual, and material culture in order to explore how musical activity, especially singing, reflects and shapes broader social concerns 鈥� in particular, about gender and politics.  I also examine transcriptions, 鈥渃overs,鈥� recordings, theories of performance, criticism, and listener reception because I鈥檓 interested in how music, through performance, changes meaning across times and cultures.

TEACHING INTERESTS

Music history and historiography; music and culture; late eighteenth-century music and aesthetics, gender and music; translation studies; music and medicine, faith, and healing; musical authorship/borrowing/plagiarism/copyright; opera; flamenco; Caribbean steelband; Japanese taiko drumming; American shape-note singing; music about trains.
