1998
Marti Newland (Riverdale, NY) recently earned her Ph.D. from the Ethnomusicology program at Columbia University. She specializes in voice studies and African-American music. Her dissertation, “Sounding Black: An Ethnography of Racialized Vocal Practices at Fisk University,” is a phenomenological study of radicalized vocality in the United States, with a focus on blackness. Through ethnographic research about radicalized vocal practices among Fisk students, a historically black university in Nashville, TN, Marti examines the procedures at play in sounding “black” — the performance of race ideologies through vocal acts, as well as the ethics of listening for race in voices.
