Welcome! This blog is a shared venture written by myself and Jessie Fillerup. We hope to create a space here not just for discussions of musicology, our field, but also anything that engages us. It may be teaching, tennis, fashion, travel, fiction, history, conferences, writing, design, food, France, dogs, the university or the universe. Allons-y!
To introduce myself: I work on women in French and American music in the 20th century and its environs; and music and film. I’ve published two books and some articles, and I adjunct at Westminster Choir College, where in the spring of 2010 I’ll be teaching Intro to Musicology and a graduate seminar on American Opera Since 1950. I’m also the editor of the SAM Bulletin and am currently on the AMS Council. My current research focuses on American composer Louise Talma and her works and musicking Shakespeare’s transvestite women.
More to come!
