Furniss, Ingrid Maren
[M] School of Historical Studies
Field of Study: Chinese Art and Archaeology, Musicology
Research Description: Ingrid Furniss is studying the impact of Silk Road trade on one major aspect of premodern Chinese society and culture: its music. She will argue that the lute, a musical instrument likely originating in the Near East or Central Asia, was a highly charged object replete with associations of ethnic and political identity, emotion, and gender in China.
