Perceptions of Experienced Music Teachers Regarding New and Experienced Teacher Professional Development
This study examined the perceptions of nine music teachers regarding teacher professional development (PD) for new and experienced teachers over the past 20 years. Data included reflections on past research studies that participants were a part of 20 and 10 years ago, respectively, as part of two individual interviews and a focus group interview conducted between fall 2019 and winter 2020. Findings are presented in the following categories: (a) n…
Eve as Cyborg: The Eden Myth as a Blueprint for Artificial Women
The essay argues that the figure of the female cyborg introduced by Donna Haraway has yet to live up to its post-gender emancipatory promise. Both Haraway and Jack Halberstam contrast the female cyborg with the biblical Eve and her mythic origins in the garden of Eden. I argue that the figure of Eve is actually an ancient precursor to the female cyborg. Even more than the Greek myth of Pygmalion, the Eden myth shares common elements with later st…

Research questions included: (a) …
Sex and Slaughter in the Tent of Jael: A Cultural History of a Biblical Story
"This book traces the retelling of the biblical story from Judges 4-5 in ancient retellings of the Bible, visual art, poems, plays, and novels. The books shows how these cultural productions of an old biblical story intersect with broader conversations about the often conflicted, and sometimes violent, relationship between women and men"
Ancient Stories of Jael and Sisera
The chapter critically examines the two versions of the Jael and Sisera tradition found in Judges 4 and 5. It argues that the poetic account and the prose account offer two different accounts of the tradition, pointing to the cultural history of retelling this story already evident in the Bible. The chapter then traces scholarly lines of interpretations of the biblical accounts. These include an ongoing interest in tradition’s combination of sex …
Ten Years Later: Teachers Reflect on “Perceptions of Beginning Teachers, Their Mentors, and Administrator Regarding Preservice Music Teacher Preparation”
