Trent Leipert holds a BA (Music & Art History) and MA (Musicology) from the University of British Columbia and a PhD (Music History & Theory) from the University of Chicago. His research, teaching, and creative practice are centered around three primary areas: music and philosophy (aesthetics, affect, subjectivity); music and multimedia (including film, video games, opera); and electronic and digital music histories and practices. He has been a Visiting Assistant Professor at Boston University and the University of Notre Dame and has been awarded fellowships from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Paul Sacher Foundation (Switzerland), the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and the Franke Institute for the Humanities (USA). His current book project, Video/Game/Techno, examines the relationship between electronic music technology, cultural history, and video-based media from the late 1970's to the present.
