Much of Sarah Suhadolnik's research centers around overlapping ideas of music and place—particularly those that highlight the ways in which public perceptions of dynamic musical landmarks, such as New Orleans, are shaped by their popular musical representation. Through this work, Suhadolnik has explored issues relating to music and the performance of place-based identities, the generative nature of geographical thought in music, and the place-based production of local, regional, and national cultural heritage. Interested in all manner of “musical place,” she has also investigated the legal, technical, and social apparatuses that support “music sharing” activities in digital music environments.
