Her research has been supported by a Fulbright-Mach fellowship (Vienna), the Taras Shevchenko Foundation (Canada) and by the Center for the Humanities at the Graduate Center, CUNY. She has presented her work internationally, including at the American Musicological Society annual conference, both the International Biennial and North American Nineteenth-Century Music Conferences, and the 2019 symposium “Between Kyiv and Vienna,” hosted at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. Her work has been published in the Journal of the Royal Musical Association (November 2020), 19th Century Music (Spring 2021), and Music and Letters (forthcoming).
