About Áine Palmer

Aine Palmer is a PhD candidate in the Music Department at Yale. My dissertation research focuses on 13th century French love songs and the manuscripts and forms of notation that record them. I have a secondary teaching and research interests in Irish popular music (particularly in relation to patterns of migration, and how music participates in cultural identity formation). My work is grounded critically in feminist and queer theories (on materialism, subjectivity, sexuality, etc), and in my spare time I enjoy reading contemporary women's literature.
