- Profile
-
I completed my DPhil in Music at the º£½ÇÉçÇø 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 º£½ÇÉçÇø and a MA in Psychology of Music from the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Sheffield.
