I am honored and delighted to take on the role of Director of Scholarship and Research for the Composer Diversity Project! Check out the Composer Diversity Database, the first component of the Project. Future proposed projects include additional databases and online resources for writing about composers of diversity, programming music by diverse composers, and using the work of a diverse body of composers to teach.
Some of my work will be building print/online resources and best practices guidelines for performers, scholars, journalists, and others. Please feel free to contact me with requests or suggestions.
