Mark Kligman

So I would say that all of my professors at Chicago had a very important impact on me continuing to work in the field today.

And also to Mark Kligman at UCLA, who invited me to be a postdoctoral fellow.

with the opening of the Lowell Milken Center for Jewish American Musical Experience.

And seeing through him and through his work, all of the different facets of Jewish musical studies, ways in which something can be deeply personal, but how you can also build a platform to include different perspectives, as well as his work focused on a very different methodology towards Jewish music studies, focused on some of the musical languages, the aesthetics themselves.
