I am a musicologist, and my primary research concerns the philosophy and intellectual history of music, especially as it relates to modernist thought both in literate and vernacular practices. I also have a secondary research interest in music and popular culture.
I completed my Ph.D. in Historical Musicology at New York University where I wrote a dissertation that developed an analytical vocabulary to
compare diverging habits of speculative thought among the “musical”
exemplars of continental philosophy (Bloch, Adorno, Jankélévitch,
and Deleuze). While revising the dissertation for
publication as a book, I am writing an article on causality in the historiography of music, and another on Richard Hell as the mythical inventor of punk culture. Finally, I am also beginning to lay the groundwork for a second book project on music’s role as an emotional and affective mediator of protest movements.
