Since 1990 I have taught at Memorial University where I am currently an Associate Professor. I have previously taught at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, the University of Toronto, and Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. My undergraduate degree as well as my master’s degree are from Indiana University in Bloomington. In 1980 I was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. My thesis titled Institutional Change in Nineteenth-Century French Music (Microfiche: ISBN 0-315-05253-8. Canadian Thesis: 53147) was an attempt to create a musical equivalent of Harrison White and Cynthia White’s social history of French painting, Canvases and Careers.
