Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
I'm active as a teacher, researcher, and administrator at the University of Victoria, with strong records of achievement in graduate advising, curriculum development, and research outcomes. I also serve on Senate and university-wide committees. My primary research is focused on twentieth-century art music, with an emphasis on European and American experimentalism and figures associated with Pierre Boulez. I am skilled as an archival researcher and data analyst, including considerable experience at the Paul Sacher Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland. In addition to core music history and theory courses, I regularly teach upper-level electives and graduate seminars in sound studies, opera, intertextuality in modern music, the history of music theory and aesthetics, critical methodologies for music research, and bibliography.
I am a tenured Associate Professor of Musicology teaching music history and theory. I teach music history from 1750 to present, music theory, and numerous topical courses. Research specializations include Pierre Boulez, intertextuality, modern idioms and methodologies, post-1945 art music, and some popular music idioms. I advise student projects at all undergraduate and graduate levels. I have considerable experience with graduate advising and curriculum development.
