Biography

Charlotte’s PhD research project at SOAS University of London is titled ‘Sounding First Nations Storytelling in Sydney, Australia’ for which she was awarded a Bloomsbury Colleges PhD Studentship.

She is also Associate Editor of Rising Voices in Ethnomusicology (formerly SEM Student News). She holds a BA in Musicology, an MA in Music Studies, and an rMA in Art Studies from the University of Amsterdam.
