Biography:

Juniper is an ethnomusicologist with interests in the sociology of creativity, pedagogy of improvisation, institutionalization of traditional musics into conservatories, transnationalism, cross-cultural fusions, and revival/post revival. She has conducted fieldwork in Finland, the US, and Ecuador.

Originally from California, she holds a B.A. with High Honors in Music and Latin American Studies from Wesleyan University (1998), and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology from the University of California, Los Angeles (2001, 2005). She has also held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of California, Santa Barbara (US), Bamberg University (Germany), and Cambridge University (UK).

Juniper's teaching areas include cross-cultural approaches to improvisation, gender and sexuality in popular and traditional musics, music of protest and social struggle, Latin American music, Nordic folk music, American vernacular music, and theories and methodologies of ethnomusicology. She also directs various polyphonic vocal folk music ensembles; currently being offered is American shape note singing.
