Sarah received degrees from Queen’s University (BA in English Lit.) and the University of Toronto (BMus, MA in Musicology). Her primary areas of inquiry include the music, medicine, and marketplaces of early modern England. Her dissertation, "Music and Bodily Health in Seventeenth-Century England," is a cultural history of music in everyday medicine and investigates under-considered sources for music, including the hospital records, private papers of physicians, the records of medical guilds, and music in the recipe books kept by women to maintain the health of their households.
