RESEARCH
As a musicologist, Libby likes to combine her passion for music cognition with her studies in music history. Her historical research and guest lecture style is shaped by social and cognitive considerations. Her projects in music are focused on the interdisciplinary field of music and cognitive research, gravitating towards the psychology of the compositional process as well as priming factors in listeners' musical preferences. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in musicology, cognitive collaboration, at the University of Western Ontario.
