Wilson Library Dissertation Research Fellowship
Talk: 'Make America Truly Musical:' Annabel Morris Buchanan's White Nationalist Folk Fantasy

Aldona Dye is a doctoral candidate of critical and comparative studies of music at the University of Virginia. Her dissertation on folk song collecting practices of early twentieth-century America calls attention to the large number of educated white women working as song collectors, simultaneously exploring how their race, gender, and class positionality uniquely shaped their work and the way they heard the music itself.
