Rena Roussin

Rena Roussin studies the ways art music reflects and constructs concepts of disability, equity, and gender in late eighteenth- and twenty-first-century contexts, as well as strategies of anticolonial activism in contemporary North American opera. She recently completed her doctorate at the University of Toronto, and is currently a postdoctoral associate at the University of Western Ontario, where she is working on her book project, Positioning Contemporary Opera in Canada: Identities, Indigeneities, Intersectionalities. Additional recent or forthcoming publications appear with Bloomsbury, Cambridge, and Oxford Presses. Rena serves on the current leadership team of the AMS Music and Disability Study Group.
