Join Dr Jenny Judge as she reflects upon her research exploring the place of music, and musical experience, in human mentality at large in dialogue with Gus Franklin’s exhibition The edge of forever.
Jenny Judge is a Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne. Her research explores the resonances between music and the philosophy of mind. She is currently developing a novel theory of musical meaning, whereby a piece of expressive music is a sonic picture of feeling. On this basis, Judge argues that music is no less deserving than pictures of being considered a core part of the human communicative toolkit.
Judge's work also explores the impact of today's digital technology on our moral and aesthetic lives. She is particularly interested in examining what our discomfort about this impact reveals about who we are, who we want to be, and what we really care about.
Judge holds a PhD in philosophy from NYU, and a PhD in music from the University of Cambridge. She is also an active musician, and regularly contributes essays to the programme book at the San Francisco Symphony.
