I am thrilled to be sharing professional/life updates: last week I defended my doctoral dissertation and in August I will join Virginia Tech as Assistant Professor of Musicology/Ethnomusicology. Thanks everyone for your support in this ongoing journey!

Participo amanhã (em ótima companhia!) desse seminário virtual. Falo sobre o encontro entre Mário de Andrade e Lorenzo Dow Turner em 1940, discutindo as relações entre som, voz, arquivos e raça. Às 14:30 (horário de Brasilia), https://t.co/CVi3sldX65
@kgoldschmitt I found this scene very powerful. For me, the visceral energy of the collective singing/screaming/crying kind of subverts the official character of the anthem. I also want to hear your thoughts!
@alvaropereirajr Sim, eu li e eu acho que a matéria está um pouco ambígua em relação a oferta de uma full professorship. O meu ponto é que full professor sem tenure é uma contradição. E nesse caso parece ser pra tentar aliviar o problema político da autonomia da UNC que tem vários precedentes.
@alvaropereirajr Os rankings universitários americanos são confusos. Ela não seria “full professor” já que “full professor” implica em ter tenure. Seria um contrato provisório, mas não usual que acho que seja pra contornar a situação ou fazer uma pressão política.
@ryuminating@DrEppsrobertson @NamjoonGranger @BTS_twt Exactly! The entanglement of race, gender, and race is a fascinating topic that BTS explores so well in these music videos.
@BorasaekVision@BTS_twt@DrEppsrobertson Thanks for your beautifully written words! I’m particularly flattered by your mention of transformative potential of education and critical pedagogies.
@DrEppsrobertson@BTS_twt Thank you so much for sharing this project!I’m happy to read all the reactions to the material. I had the privilege of discuss BTS in some of my graduate classes last year and I’m always fascinated by the multiple angles that they allow us to engage with their work.
@DrMaDMo@MaherEK@dan_guberman UNC changed the whole exam last year. They split it into two parts (MA and PhD): the MA is a two-days closed book exam based on a bibliography that students receive a year before the exam, the PhD is also two sessions, but based on individual fields and bibs for each student.
