Maureen Mahon joins the Department of Music as a Visiting Associate
Professor. She received her B.S.
in Performance Studies from Northwestern University
(1987) and an M.A. (1993), M.Phil. (1994), and Ph.D.
(1997) in anthropology from NYU. Previously, she taught at
Wesleyan University and UCLA.
A cultural anthropologist, her research interests include contemporary
African American culture, the production of identity, the construction
and performance of race and gender in music, and the relationship
between race, class, generation, and culture. She is the author of Right To
Rock: The Black Rock Coalition and the Cultural Politics
of Race (Duke University Press, 2004) and articles on cultural
producers. Her current research on the music and legacy of black women
in rock examines the intersection of gender, race, sexuality, and music
production. She has held fellowships from the National Science
Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the American Association of
University Women.
