\n April Wu is a final-year PhD researcher in Music and Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London.
\n She holds first-class degrees from Oxford (BA in Music and MSc in Social Anthropology). She is interested
\n in the fruitful exchange between listening and thinking, particularly in relation to the long nineteenth
\n century.\n <\/p>\n

\n Her PhD project focused on voice\u2019s slippery ontology and its complex mediation between sounding and
\n listening bodies. Informed by feminist conceptions of language, and strands of phenomenology,
\n poststructuralism, and posthumanism, she developed a notion of voiced meaning that challenges
\n text-centred approaches in Lied scholarship and studies of Western art music more broadly.\n <\/p>\n

\n She has presented papers at the RMA Music and Philosophy Study Group Annual Conference, the London
\n Conference for Critical Philosophy, and the Society for European Philosophy Annual Conference. She is
\n the editor of The Schubertian<\/em>, the journal of Schubert Institute UK.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
