Alan Keiler, Professor (B.A., University of Michigan, Ph.D. in Linguistics, Harvard), taught linguistics at the University of Michigan, where he served as chair of the Psycholinguistics Program, after which his professional interests turned to music. He did his graduate work in music theory and musicology at the universities of Michigan and Chicago before coming to Brandeis. He specializes in Heinrich Schenker and the history of theory, 19th-century music (especially Liszt), and interdisciplinary studies that emphasize structuralism and historiography. His interests in psychoanalysis led him to do a lay traineeship at the Boston Psychoanalytic Institute. He has been a Visiting Professor at SUNY Stony Brook, Yale, and Princeton. His articles on music theory and on Liszt have appeared in such journals as Nineteenth Century Music, Journal of Music Theory, Music Analysis, Music Perception, and Perspectives of New Music. His biography of the American contralto Marian Anderson (Marian Anderson: A Singer's Journey) is published by Scribner's. |
