About
I am a musicologist with eclectic interests lying at the intersection of philosophy, politics, and music since the nineteenth century. My research has focused most on post-war classical music, especially in France, but past projects include the reception and commodification of Italian partimento in post-revolutionary France, the ontological turn in sound studies, and issues of labor and aesthetic judgement surrounding autotune since the 2008 financial crisis.
I have presented my work at the conferences for the American Musicological Society and the Society for Music Theory, as well as at graduate conferences hosted by McGill University and the University of Chicago. With Amy Bauer, I co-chair of the Society for Music Theory’s psychoanalysis special interest group. Before coming to UChicago for my Ph.D., I earned a B.Mus. and M.Mus. in Composition from McGill University, and an M.A. in Critical Music Studies from SUNY Stony Brook.
