Nour El Rayes Joins the Peabody Institute

Congratulations to Nour El Rayes, who has been appointed as an Assistant Professor of Ethnomusicology at the Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute!

Nour is an ethnomusicologist specializing in global popular musics. Her work engages questions about temporality, performance, and sound in the context of decolonial modes of self-determination. Nour’s current research project, an ethnography of alternative music in Lebanon, explores how music is entangled in the project of realizing particular aspirations or hopes for collective futures.
