Major Publications

As an active musicologist and historian, I am regularly working on research for a number of publications and other scholarly projects and contributions. Here are several publications that I would especially like to highlight for you.   ~ ~ ~


Muted Anxiety: American Film Music in a Suburban Age (Oxford University Press, 2014) is available. I edited this collection on film and television music with my colleague, Dr. Anthony Bushard. You can purchase a copy here.

Music and History: Bridging the Disciplines (University of Mississippi Press, 2005) has celebrated the twentieth anniversary of its publication. I edited this collection with my colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Jackson. We presented a retrospective reflection on this work at the national conference of the American Historical Association in Washington in January 2015. You can purchase a copy here.

 
 
 

This interesting collection, Buffy, Ballads, and Bad Guys Who Sing: Music in the Worlds of Joss Whedon, includes an essay of mine on music in the series Firefly.

My chapter on music in Dr. Who, “The Gunfighters” (1966), is available in Re-Locating the Sounds of the Western, which was published by Routledge (August 2018). You can purchase a copy here.

My chapter on fathers and monsters in Dexter is available in this recently published collection.

My most recent article, “Community, Morality, and Diegetic Music in Little House on the Prairie,” was published in the journal, American Music.
