Über den Autor


Katherine L. Turner holds a Ph.D. in Musicology and a doctoral portfolio in Women and Gender Studies from the University of Texas, Austin. Her interest in irony in popular music stems from the mythology surrounding her favorite childhood song, 'Ring Around the Rosie.' Additional research interests include the musical culture and education of early modern women and the music of the Long Civil Rights Era. She is currently working on a monograph of the anti-lynching song 'Strange Fruit.'
