How do artistic and scientific ways of thinking meet, overlap, and challenge each other?
In this special Arts & Sciences mini-series episode of GradCast, hosts Ryan Baxter and Riya Sidhu are joined by Rebekka Lagace Cusiac, a PhD student in Psychology studying music and numerical cognition, and Seyed Mohammad Tonkaboni, a DMA student in music composition whose work engages with Persian literature and Iranian musical traditions.
Together, they explore how different disciplines approach the study of music, and how creative and analytical perspectives can inform one another.
