I am Director of Research at the Margaret Beaufort Institute, an affiliated lecturer at the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, a visiting scholar in Theology, Imagination and Culture at Sarum College, Salisbury, and Chair of the Royal Music Association Music and Philosophy Study Group.

I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Musicology at the University of G枚ttingen, Germany between 2012 and 2015 and have taught in departments of music, philosophy and theology at the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University, the University of East Anglia, and King鈥檚 College, London.
