School of Music Faculty

Timothy Murray

Part-Time Faculty, Ethnomusicology

Tim Murray holds a PhD and an MA in ethnomusicology from the University of Florida and a BA in English Literature from the University of North Texas. He currently teaches African American Musical Heritage and Introduction to World Musics at UNF. As an ethnomusicologist, his research crosscuts the fields of Arctic ethnomusicology and anthropology with a theoretical emphasis on musical scapes, phenomenology, and the semiotics of music and emotion. His publications have investigated the communal soundscapes of Connecticut’s Ancient fife and drum community (Routledge 2021) and the impacts of Inuit drum dancing on the psychosocial well-being of Inuit living in Ulukhaktok, an Inuit community in the Canadian Arctic (Lexington, in press). Tim is an active jazz drummer in the North Central Florida region.
