Emily Hunt, PhD

Emily Hunt earned a PhD in History from Georgia State University. Before that, she completed a Bachelor and Masters in Music from the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where she specialized in music theory, composition, and music history. She is interested in studying the sound of protest and resistance and looking at gendered soundscapes, with a hope that we can understand more about the past by analyzing what we hear, not just what we see and read. Her current research project explores the history of the Women's Music Movement, a musical tradition that focuses on the lives, needs, and experiences of women. As a senior lecturer, Dr. Hunt works to create a vibrant online and face-to-face classroom where students can learn about music as a source of history and its role in our society at home and around the world.
