Dr GlauraLucas
Glaura Lucas has conducted extensive research on the music of the Afro-Brazilian Congado ritual. She received her Ph.D. in music from the University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2005), having spent six months in 2003-2004 as a visiting research student at the OU. Glaura Lucas is currently lecturer in Ethnomusicology at the School of Music of the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil. Since 2005 Glaura has conducted collaborative research into entrainment in Congado music with Martin Clayton and Laura Leante. This work has been sponsored by the Open University and – repeatedly – by the British Academy. In order to carry out this project, Glaura was recently awarded a British Academy Visiting Fellowship, thanks to which she spent two months at the Open University during the academic year 2007-2008 working with the “Experience and Meaning in Music Performance” project team. |
