Richard Cullen Rath
I am on sabbatical from teaching at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa for Spring 2009 and I will be visiting scholar in residence at the Annenberg Scholars Program in Culture and Communication
at the University of Pennsylvania during the Fall 2009 semester.
I can still be reached at my usual email address, rrath at hawaii
dot edu.
For the curious, here are a few projects I have been working on:
- I have studied and reconstructed African music in the Americas for a long time. Here are some reconstructions of African music in Jamaica in the seventeenth century based on an article I wrote in 1993.
- Students at Oberlin College, Hamilton College, and
UHI helped
me develop
a musical hypertext edition of W.E.B. Du Bois's The Souls of Black
Folk.I have also written a book, How Early America
Sounded.
You can find
out more about the book and the history of sound here.
- Here are some history-related bookmarks.
- You can find out a little more about me—including
some of
my music, and copies of some articles I've written—here if you are
interested.
That's it for now!
