I received my PhD in Musicology
from the Cuny Graduate
Center in September 2009, successfully defending my dissertation
entitled "The Seventeenth-Century Singer's Body: An Instrument of
Action." I completed an interdisciplinary Renaissance
Certificate and also research the interseciton of popular music,
politics and identity.
I have presented papers at a number of professional conferences,
including the Us/Canada joint meeting of the International Association
for the Study of Popular Music (2007), Society
for 17th-Century Music Conference (2007) and the National Early Music
Association Conference in York England (2009). I have two reviews
forthcoming in Current Musicology and
Notes: The Quarterly Journal of the
Music Library Association.
