Anne M. Hyland is senior lecturer in music analysis at the University of Manchester. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, focusing on the function of repetition in Schubert’s chamber music. Her 2023 book, Schubert’s String Quartets: The Teleology of Lyric Form (CUP), explores innovative ways that Schubert’s music integrates lyricism with sonata form. Her research also engages the music of Hummel, Onslow, and Chopin as part of a British Academy/Leverhulme-supported project and a Collaborative Strategic Partnership with the University of Toronto. Prof. Hyland was awarded the Anthony Pople Mid-Career Research Award of the Society for Music Analysis in September 2024 and a Teaching Excellence Award at the University of Manchester (2024) for her efforts to make music analysis more accessible to a diverse student body.

Nusrat ChowdhuryAssociate Professor of Anthropology, Amherst CollegeKellogg Visiting Fellow How does development infrastructure help us understand the way populism functions in the global south? This lecture, drawing from Nustrat Chowdhury's ethnographic project around the longest river bridge in Bangladesh , addresses this question by exploring how mega-infrastructure has become a strategy through which increasingly authoritarian regimes seek populist legitimacy. Focusing on the concept of “infrastructural populism,” it asks: How does spectacular development aimed at mass political appeal help us grasp the ways in which new versions of democratic authoritarianisms are thriving in the global south? How and why is the democratic ideal compromised in the obsessive investment in megaprojects? And, despite its impressive visual appeal, how does language offer insights into the ways in which infrastructure is accommodated in everyday life? Once completed, the book will contribute to distinct areas of scholarship, namely, the political life of infrastructure; populism in the global south; and, rumor and hearsay as form of political communication. click here for more information
