Feminist Music Theory in the Victorian Era (with Dr. Rachel Lumsden)

In our last episode for Women's History Month, I chat with Dr. Rachel Lumsden (Florida State University) about her experiences as a flautist, her time in grad school at CUNY, and the music theory curriculum at FSU. We also discuss how she got into music theory and feminist studies, as well as her award winning MTO article "Music Theory for the 'Weaker Sex': Oliveria Prescott’s Columns for The Girl’s Own Paper."

Thank you for tuning in this season! Stay tuned for the semester in review episode in May!
