- Profile
-
I completed my DPhil in Music at the University of Oxford in 2023. My doctoral research project, 'Empirical and modelling approaches to the psychology of musical awe', explored the perception, cognition and aesthetics of awe-inspiring musical experiences. I am also interested in the roles of music in identity formation, religious practices, and environmentalism. I hold a BA in Religious Studies from Indiana University and a MA in Psychology of Music from the University of Sheffield.
