He specializes in Critical Musicology and Popular Music Studies looking at the politics of the performance of identity, focusing on race, gender, and sexuality. He has published and presented on topics ranging from Musical Appropriation as a diachronic process to the ways in which progressives internalize conservative logics as exemplified by the Belgian videogame "The Graveyard." His work can be found in the Journal of the Royal Musical Association, Ethnomusicology Review, and Journal of the American Musicological Society. He is currently working on two book projects, one on the politics of Friedrich Hollaender's song, “Falling In Love Again” at the end of the Weimar Republic and the other on transgender vocality and race across the 20th and 21st Centuries.
