Why Dal?
I work here! Thanks to the support of colleagues, I was able to make time to follow my passion and pursue my MA in Musicology on a part-time basis.
What inspires me
I've spent years as a music journalist and critic and it has been incredibly rewarding to translate this back into academia. I'm particularly interested in how the transition to a digital culture is changing how recordings and artists are understood and appreciated.
