Major Research Areas
Musicology:
Our staff engage in historical, theoretical, and anthropological research on music. We investigate classical, traditional, and popular idioms of various regions in East Asia, particularly China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, as well as other Asian regions. Staff members also specialise in the history and philosophy of Western classical repertories; music in film and other media; opera and musical theatre; manuscript and source studies; ethnography, the psychology of music, and the sociology of music. Co-supervision across disciplines (linguistics, history, and philosophy, for instance) is not only possible but also encouraged..
