Writing


In 2023 I received my PhD in Historical Musicology from New York University.

My dissertation was entitled "The Geopolitics of Voice: Sound, Music, and Language in Early American Settler Colonialism" and focused on the discourses of philology, land, law, and science in the institutions and ideologies of British-colonial and early-U.S. dispossession, from the seventeenth century to the advent of the federal boarding school system in the late nineteenth century.
