Julia Doe, Lecturer

Julia Doe is a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University. She holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Yale University, where she also served as an affiliate of the Whitney Humanities Center. She is a specialist in the music, literature, and politics of the French Enlightenment, with a particular focus on lyric theater and the history of theatrical institutions.

Her current research examines the development of opéra-comique in the final decades of the Old Regime, as it engaged with emerging discourses of national and cosmopolitan musical style. Portions of this work have appeared in The Opera Journal, and have been supported by grants and prizes from the American Musicological Society, the Fulbright Program, the National Opera Association, and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library.
