Profile
Alexander Rehding is Fanny Peabody Professor of Music at Harvard University. He obtained a Ph.D. from Cambridge University in 1998 and went on to postdoctoral fellowships at Cambridge, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton, before joining Harvard’s Music Department at Harvard in 2003. Anchored in German and European cultural and intellectual history of the 18th-21st centuries, Rehding's research and teaching interests include such topics as music and identity, cultural transfer, historiography, ecocriticism, sound studies, media theory, and digital humanities. Rehding has served as editor for Acta musicologica (2006–11) and editor-in-chief of the Oxford Handbooks Online series in Music (2011–19); he is series editor of the six-volume Cultural History of Western Music by Bloomsbury. His contributions have been recognized with such awards as a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Dent Medal of the International Musicological Society and the Royal Musical Association. His interest in integrating digital technology into teaching and research led him to found Harvard’s Sound Lab in 2012. As a fellow at the American Academy in Berlin in 2022, he researched the intersection between music and climate change. He is currently working on a book on music and the Anthropocene.
