My research and teaching have focused on music since 1945, philosophical aesthetics, and the history of music theory. Prior to coming to Bowling Green, I taught history and composition at University College Cork, in Ireland. I studied musicology at Stanford University (Ph.D.) and composition at McGill University (M.Mus.). Current projects include three short essays (on Stockhausen, Mahnkopf, and Grisey) and a larger study of postwar aesthetic theory.
