Project
Playing at/against power: Histories of Trauma and Abuse in South African Music-Pedagogical Spaces
The proposed project builds on some of my earlier work on music and violence, and is born of the politico-ethical imperative to break the silence surrounding structural violence and abuse in institutionalised spaces devoted to music pedagogy: the lecture room, the teaching studio, the community project.
Project
Aesthetics of Trauma: Transgenerational Memory and the Poetics of Repair
Interest in the study of the traumatic repercussions of violent histories on descendants of victims and survivors has proliferated in the sub-field of memory and trauma studies, with earlier research in the field focusing mainly on descendants of Holocaust survivors.
