RESEARCH
As a musicologist, Libby likes to combine her passion for music cognition with her studies in musicology. Her research is shaped by an interdisciplinary approach; combining an interest in both empirical and theoretical writing, she uses both to investigate music composition, performance, and consumption as a behaviour. She is currently a Ph.D. student in musicology, cognitive collaboration, at the University of Western Ontario. Her developing dissertation focuses on recorded music, technology, and autobiographical memory.
