How Does a Stoic Listen to Music with Melinda Latour
About our Presenter
Melinda Latour is an Associate Professor of Musicology at Tufts University whose work bridges music, philosophy, and popular culture from the past to the present. Her academic monograph, The Voice of Virtue: Moral Song and the Practice of French Stoicism, 1574–1652 (Oxford University Press, 2023), won the Morris D. Forkosch Prize for best first book in intellectual history—the first time a music-focused work received this honor. She also co-edited The Relentless Pursuit of Tone: Timbre in Popular Music (Oxford, 2018), which earned recognition from both the American Musicological Society and the Society for Music Theory. Her research has been supported by the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
