From 2021-2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher on the interdisciplinary project "Making a Martyr in Medieval Iberia" at Radboud University (PI: Kati Ihnat). As part of this project, I reserached how music worked as part of the devotion to saints, growing interested in liturgical practice and the rich cutlure of multi-cultural medieval Iberia.

My PhD dissertation focused on a collection of thirteenth-century polyphony from France, which was later bound together into a book with classical poetry, rhetoric texts, and twelfth-century theology, among other items. My work considered some of the ways that these diverse texts may have been understood to be connected by their compiler and by subsequent readers of the collected book. This reserach is leading to articles on the rhetoric of performance, Marian theology, and music in personal libraries.

These positions and research areas combine wonderfully in my current project, which looks both at the performance of medieval chant and liturgy and also manuscript use, how readers added musical notation as part of their note-taking or annotating practices.
