Her dissertation, "Music and Bodily Health in 17th-Century England," is a cultural history of music used in everyday medicine and investigates under-examined household sources, such as music found in recipe books. Sarah's work also considers the affordances of manuscript music notation and she is a member of the American Musicological Society's study group on Notation, Inscription, and Visualization. Before coming to Harvard, Sarah received degrees from Queen’s University (BA in English Lit.) and the University of Toronto (BMus, MA in Musicology).
