2021The entanglement of music and political power in 17th-century France and England — patronage networks, the Baroque guitar at court, and figures such as Francesco Corbetta in the orbit of Louis XIV and Charles II.
Musical culture, ideology, and national identity in contemporary Iran — state-sponsored repertoire, revolutionary song, and the politics of music education and dissemination.
The theory and practice of musical and textual translation — rendering Baroque sources for modern instruments, cultural stakes of music terminology in Persian, and the epistemology of scholarly translation across languages.
History, repertory, and performance conventions of the Baroque guitar — tuning systems, tablature, ornamentation, style brisé, and the challenges of historically informed performance on plucked instruments.
I welcome correspondence about Baroque guitar research, historically informed performance, translation, and scholarly collaboration.
