Alexa Woloshyn
I am originally from Saskatchewan, Canada (Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis). I have been an assistant professor of musicology at Carnegie Mellon University since 2016, and I love working with the immensely talented, bright, and driven students here. I taught previously at Western University (formerly University of Western Ontario), the University of Toronto, University of Guelph, and Bowling Green State University.
In my teaching and research, what excites me most is the music of now. I want to understand how music engages with the contemporary complexities of life—in North America and around the world.
I acknowledge that I live on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee, Shawnee, Lenape, and Mingo nations.
