Musicologist Reeves Shulstad is an Associate Professor in the Hayes School of Music. Along with her research on the composer Tui St. George Tucker, Shulstad has engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning. She was a member of the first Scholarly Teaching Academy led by Dr. Tracy Smith, and her work with that group led to a research project on student engagement in large general education courses. This project resulted in an article for The Journal of Music History Pedagogy entitled “Student Engagement through Faculty Engagement: Faculty Learning Communities as Professional Development.” Since joining the faculty in 2009, Shulstad has enjoyed experimenting with and implementing pedagogical techniques in her courses for music majors and general education students in face-to-face and online classes. She enjoys mentoring students on independent research projects and many of her mentees have presented at conferences including the National Conference for Undergraduate Research and the College Music Society and published their work in conference Proceedings. As a Faculty Fellow for the Center of Academic Excellence, Shulstad will focus on issues of inclusivity and diversity in the Hayes School of Music.
