About
Nina Goodman is a scholar readily intrigued by the plurality of ways in which people sound out their conditions of being. Currently, she researches how people in Germany and Korea utilize(d) the medium of sound to articulate an understanding of place and materialize desires in nations marked by division and reunification since the Cold War.
Importantly, Nina aims to become a musicologist in the holistic sense of the word, remaining sensitive and receptive to the affordances and limitations of our disciplinary paradigms (conceived as music theory, music history, ethnomusicology, etc.).
Before her time at the University of Chicago, Nina earned a BA in Data Science and Music at Wellesley College. Her thesis project involved computational analyses of Lili Boulanger's Psalm 129 (1916), as well as a historical evaluation of the little-studied composer.
