Author Information

Samantha Bassler is a scholar and educator who teaches in the music departments at NYU Steinhardt and Rutgers University at Newark and owns and teaches at Stellar Music Space, her own private music school in Brooklyn, NY. As a disabled and neurodivergent academic, her research is focused on music and disability, from an advocacy perspective and to better understand the social concept of disability in early modern cultures. After co-editing Myth and Story in Medieval and Early Modern Culture (2019), she has been expanding her work on early music and disability into a book project that is under consideration with Boydell and Brewer. She is also active in music and disability justice initiatives at the American Musicological Society, where she gave three talks at the 2022 conference, all centred around acceptance of neurodivergent and disabled scholars and students. Katie Bank is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of History at the University of Birmingham researching musical-visual culture in early modern England. Her work reflects an interdisciplinary attention to the role of recreational song and visual culture within the intellectual history of early modern England, particularly music's intersection with natural philosophy, the passions, and concepts of sense perception. Publications include a monograph, Knowledge Building in Early Modern English Music (Routledge, 2021) as well as articles in journals such as Early Music, The Hakluyt Society Journal, and Renaissance Studies. Katherine Butler is Assistant Professor in Music at Northumbria University. Her research focuses on the musical culture of early modern England, from the myths and stories that shaped perceptions of music, to music’s roles in politics and society, and its physical dissemination in print and manuscript. She is the author of Music in Elizabethan Court Politics (2015) and co-editor of Music, Myth and Story in Medieval and Early Modern Culture (2019), The Heroic in Music (2022) and Elizabethan and Jacobean Praises of Music (forthcoming). Her current research project explores the social significance of rounds and catch-singing, c.1550-1650.
