This page is a series of links either to places where I have taught, program summaries, or home pages of the programs I have taught during my time at The Evergreen State College. Since 2020, my program sites have been available only through Canvas, which requires an Evergreen ID for access.

I am an ethnomusicologist—an anthropologist of music—and I teach music and cultural studies. My interests include liminality, language, gender, religion, and food; because of teaching with so many colleagues, those interests have expanded to include so much more. I have been very fortunate to teach with specialists in theater, physics, philosophy, psychology, agriculture, film, writing, cultural studies, linguistics, history, marine science, literature, and more. It has given me both breadth and depth in my teaching, along with the opportunity to observe outstanding colleagues at work. I teach my students to play and sing in whatever genre and language we explore. In addition to my articles and reviews in the field of ethnomusicology, I have written one award-winning book and pieces about music and religion, revival, food, dance, and identity for several edited volumes. My next book—Music at the Threshold from the Sacred to the Dangerous (Oxford University Press)—will appear in print in May.
