The monograph manuscript 'The Symphony in 1933' is complete and ready to be submitted to the publisher as requested, after the incorporation, collation, and review of new archival materials for two new case studies since the beginning of the project. As part of this strand to the project, two additional major peer-reviewed publications have been generated, 'Listening for the Intimspäre: Recovering Berlin 1933 through Hans Pfitzner's Symphony in C-sharp Minor', appearing in The Musical Quarterly in 2018, and 'Roy Harris's Symphony 1933: Biographical Mythmaking and Liberal Mythbuilding in the American West', in Journal of Musicological Research in 2019.
Towards the new book project, extensive archival research has been carried out in the US, Germany, and Austria, alongside a thorough secondary literature review. Two articles are currently in preparation. A total of nine peer-reviewed conference papers developing the material and methodology have been given in North America, Asia, and Europe, as well as more informal talks.
The researcher furthered her teaching experience and skills by lecturing and examining at Royal Holloway, University of London. As part of her training objectives, she gained Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) accreditation.
The establishment of the interdisciplinary research network has produced several key results. These include the launch of the network website, soniccirculations.com in January 2018, an international Study Day, 'Musical Thought and the Scientific Imagination', held at Harvard in November 2018, and a larger two-day international conference held in London in June 2019, 'Sonic Circulations 1900-1950: Musical Thought, Scientific Fantasies, Global Contexts'. An edited collection is in preparation, drawing on presentations and discussions at both meetings. An additional result is the continued success of the research blog for junior scholars hosted on the website.
