About
Peter Mondelli recently completed his Ph.D. in music history at the University of Pennsylvania. He holds a BA in music with departmental honors from Columbia University. At Penn, he was awarded a Graduate Fellowship for Teaching Excellence by the Center for Teaching and Learning, as well as a Ben Franklin Fellowship and a Dissertation Completion Fellowship. He has presented his research at conferences in the US, UK and Canada. He is currently working as an instructor at West Chester University and the University of Pennsylvania, having previously taught at the University of Delaware. In the Fall of 2012, he will join the faculty of the University of North Texas as an assistant professor of music history.
Peter's research explores the conjoined histories of Parisian opera and print culture in the long 19th century. His dissertation reexamines the role of print in shaping the economic, social, and political character of French opera.
He has also pursued research on the disciplinary histories of musicology and ethnomusicology, considering their ideological ties to large-scale cultural projects like 19th century French philology and German folksong collecting.
