Research Description
Early Modern music and culture, focusing on the convergence of musical practice, organology, the history of the book, and subjectivity from 1350 to 1750. My secondary research area examines representations of gender, class, and race in Latinx musics, exploring the interaction of structures of power and subject-formation in the genre of reggaeton.
