Prior to joining Dalhousie University in 2009, she was a SSHRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto (2007-2009).
Her research explores various engagements of opera and political theory, particularly musicological paradigms of Habermasian public sphere, issues of national identity and the politics of canon formation. Together with Dr. Michael House in the German department, she is hosting a DISC (Dalhousie Institute for Society and Culture) research group exploring conceptions of nature in the humanities (2011/2012).
