My dissertation focuses on articulations of emotional concern in reaction to human rights issues in the last quarter of the last century. The goal of the research project is to analyze the relationship between classical music and human rights advocacy in the United States (1960-2000 appr.). The dissertation seeks to explore the feelings informing musical human rights activism before and after the end of the Cold War.
