Short biography and a description of your interest(s) in music and health:
Jennie Gubner is a socially engaged interdisciplinary scholar, violinist, visual ethnographer, and mother. She holds a Ph.D. from the UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology, and works at the University of Arizona as an Assistant Professor of Music and Chair of the Applied Intercultural Arts Research Graduate Interdisciplinary Program. She is also a Senior Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute. Her research interests include applied approaches to the study of music, health and creative aging, intercultural arts and health curriculum development in higher education, Latin American participatory music making practices as vehicles for social activism and intergenerational community building, and creative and multimodal approaches to public ethnography.
Collaboration Interests:
I am interested in collaborating with scholars and educators intersted in intercultural and applied approaches to arts and health curricular development, projects connected to culturally diverse explorations of creative aging, and research studies involving ethnographic, applied, public-facing, and creative arts-based methods. I have worked extensively in the realm of music and dementia caregiving and would be excited to continue collaborating with scholars working in this area as well.
