UC Press Announces Jacek Blaszkiewicz as Incoming Editor of the "Journal of Musicology"
University of California Press is pleased to announce the appointment of Jacek Blaszkiewicz as the next Editor of the Journal of Musicology (JM). Blaszkiewicz will assume the editorship in January 2027, following the completion of the current editors’ term.
Jacek Blaszkiewicz is an Associate Professor of Music History at Wayne State University. His research focuses on French music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a particular interest in urbanism, politics, and aesthetics. He is the author of Fanfare for a City: Music and the Urban Imagination in Haussmann’s Paris (University of California Press, 2023), which was the recipient of a “FirstGen” grant from UC Press. His articles appear in 19th-Century Music, Cambridge Opera Journal, Current Musicology, and the Journal of Musicology. His 2022 article, “Verdi, Auber and the Aida-Type,” won an ASCAP Foundation Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award. His current research explores the intersections of ocular technology, piano pedagogy, and gender at the fin de siècle.
UC Press extends its gratitude to current JM editors Francesca Brittan and Sam Barrett for their editorial leadership over the past two and a half years. As they complete their three-year term at the end of 2026, we thank them for their dedication and service to the journal.
The Journal of Musicology is a refereed, international quarterly journal devoted to exemplary scholarship across the spectrum of music studies. As a leading disciplinary forum founded in 1981 by Marian Green, JM reflects the breadth of musicology today and helps to shape the future trajectory of cross-disciplinary humanistic inquiry. Through its long-standing tradition of publishing the most exciting work by younger scholars alongside the contributions of senior scholars, JM continues to expand the perimeters of musicology in a spirit of openness, diversity, and academic excellence.
