Faith S. Lanam

Faith Lanam, PhD, is a musicologist, performer, pedagogue, and continuing lecturer at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her archival research on the Colegio de San Miguel de Belem and Jerusalem y Sisto family deepens our understanding of women’s experiences in colonial Mexico City, eighteenth-century music pedagogy, and the transatlantic transmission of musical knowledge. Dr. Lanam seeks to foster engaging and positive learning environments and to create well-rounded curricula interweaving relevant aspects of performance practice, music history, social and cultural context, music theory, and critical listening skills. She serves as the organist at Saint Ann Chapel, Palo Alto, California.
