I hold a BA in Music and Philosophy from the University of Copenhagen and an MMus and PhD from Royal Holloway, University of London.
I am full professor at the Department of Musicology, University of Oslo, which I joined in January 2015. Prior to Oslo, I was Associate Professor and Lecturer at the University of Nottingham (2009-15) and at the University of East Anglia (2005-9).
I work on music and philosophy, especially ethics and aesthetics in twentieth- and twenty-first century music, on film music and sound, and on the rhythm and temporality of musical experience. Other interests include popular music, music in Scandinavia, and opera and music criticism in the Weimar republic.
