The work that Jessica does here developing an idea of music as 'multimodal, multisensory' is SO philosophically important as people in that field CONTINUE to treat 'sound' or 'listening' as like uniquely auditory and ear-and-voice-based phenomena

Thrilled that my book *Music at the Margins of Sense* is officially in production and forthcoming in Fall 2026 with the University of Michigan Press @uofmpress.bsky.social for their Music and Social Justice Series!

UC Press has listed my JAMS article “Billie Eilish and the Feminist Aesthetics of Depression” among the most-accessed UC Press journal articles in 2024-25 in their 2025 report:

Thrilled to share that the University of Michigan Press Faculty Executive Committee has unanimously approved my book, *Music at the Margins of Sense* for publication! Hopefully it’ll hit the book stands in late 2026/early 2027! In the meantime, you can read all about it on my brand new website:
