In January, University of Oregon School of Music and Dance assistant professor of musicology, Jesús Ramos-Kittrell, was featured on UO Today! In the video interview, led by the Oregon Humanities Center director, Paul Peppis, Ramos-Kittrell discusses his background and research. His research covers the early modern period and more current analyses of globalization, merging music studies with social history, cultural studies, and literary theory. Ramos-Kittrell's monograph Playing in the Cathedral: Music, Race, and Status in New Spain was published by Oxford University Press in 2016. His edited volume Decentering the Nation: Music, Mexicanidad, and Globalization, published in 2020, won the Society for Ethnomusicology’s 2021 Ellen Koskoff Edited Volume Prize.
