Profile
Associate Professor, Ethnomusicology
Curator, Musicology Lab
Christi-Anne Castro received her Master's and Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from the University of California, Los Angeles with a dissertation on music, nationalism, and cultural politics in the Philippines. She joined the Department of Musicology faculty in January 2005. Since then she has taught classes introducing School of Music, Theatre & Dance students and non-music majors to "world music."
