Sean Dunnahoe is a musicologist (PhD, Royal Holloway, University of London), whose work focuses on music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, especially where it intersects with liturgy, cultural history, palaeography, and manuscript studies. Dr. Dunnahoe’s interdisciplinary approach to music history is carried into his teaching, where his students engage with the actual sources wherever possible, co-constructing an understanding of the music through the eyes, ears, and concerns of its contemporaries. A percussionist by training, Dr. Dunnahoe is also an alumnus of CSULB, having graduated from here with a BM in composition, an MA in musicology, and a Graduate Certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, where he focused on medieval history and literature.
