Princeton University
Professor of Music; Director of Graduate Studies

My research examines sound and music as fundamental features in the construction of global modernity, with research specializations in African music, sound studies, acoustic ecology, and music and philosophy. Methodologically, my work is united by a mode of inquiry where theory, history, and ethnography form part of a shared constellation. I am also affiliated with the programs in Media and Modernity, African Studies, and Jazz Studies.
