Jane Sugarman is an ethnomusicologist who specializes in the music of Southeastern Europe and the Middle East. She has conducted field research in Albania and the former Yugoslavia, as well as among immigrants in Western Europe and North America, with a focus on the participation of musical forms in processes of identity formation. Her 1997 book, Engendering Song: Singing and Subjectivity at Prespa Albanian Weddings, analyzes the relationship between singing and gender relations in a diasporic Albanian community. She is currently researching Albanian popular musics and the transnational basis of their production. At Stony Brook Prof. Sugarman is affiliated with the graduate certificate programs in Women's Studies and Cultural Studies, and teaches seminars in ethnomusicological theory; cultural studies; music, gender, and sexuality; and music and globalization. In recent years she has received fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the International Research and Exchanges Board (IREX), and was a 1995 recipient of the President's and Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Teaching.Curriculum Vitae
