Emmalouise St. Amand’s research centers around issues of femininity, race, and voice in American popular music. Her current book project explores how Black teenage girl singers in postwar New York City leveraged music to forge subjectivities rooted in resiliency and joy within multiple marginalized identities. Prof. St. Amand’s writing can be found in the Journal of Popular Music Studies and the Journal of Jazz Studies, and her research has been supported by the Music Library Association, the Frederick Douglass Institute and Department of Black Studies, and the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. She holds a PhD from Eastman School of Music. Prof. St. Amand also holds an advanced degree in vocal performance and is a longtime choral singer and voice teacher.
