PhD student in the Division of Musicology.
In my thesis I investigate the music archive of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and explore how its constitutive elements facilitate different versions of the history of recorded music. An important aim of the study is to examine the ways in which DR's music archive steer and construct its metadata as historical records.
My research interests build on an interdisciplinary foundation including aesthetics, music historiography and media theory.
I hold a BA in Musicology (2010), a MA in Modern Culture (2015), and a MA in Musicology (2016), all from the University of Copenhagen. In the Spring term of 2014 I studied Modern Aesthetic Theory at the University of Oslo.
In the Spring term of 2020 I was a visiting researcher at the Department of Cultural, Media and Visual Studies at the University of Nottingham - until COVID19 shut me down.
