The graduate program in Historical Musicology at the University of Pennsylvania serves students who intend to conduct cutting-edge research, produce high-quality scholarship, and develop teaching and professional skills in order to pursue academic positions in musicology and music studies, it also serves those who want to consider career opportunities beyond academia in both music and non-music domains. The program's broad intellectual purpose has always been to expose students to a plurality of historiographical approaches and methodologies of humanistic inquiry. We continue to accomplish this goal by: Galvanizing graduate student research by offering seminars on a dynamic range of topics. Faculty specializations include the intersection of medieval secular and sacred music, Renaissance and Baroque vocal music, opera studies, music and the digital humanities, critical race studies, jazz, black musics of the West, music and cultural contexts of Chopin, landscape and modernism, music and colonial encounter, feminist musicology, transatlantic music studies, music and the history of the book.
