    About

    I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Musicology at Uppsala Univeristy, with my project Resounding Worship: Networks of Musical Devotion in the European Reformations, 1520-1648. I previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of Salzburg and most recently at KU Leuven.

    My research interests include book history, Reformation and Counter-Reformation liturgies, early modern musical performance practices, and the musical and devotional lives of beguines. You can read more about my research on my university profile and on my blog.
