Lee Chambers

Lee Chambers is a Ph.D. candidate in musicology at Texas Tech University whose work focuses on semiotics, the voice, selfhood, and changes in context. His dissertation is an investigation of operatic singing in twenty-first-century Eastern Africa, considering critical reception, auto-ethnographic texts, and institutional missions in light of historical Western operatic tropes and contemporary African philosophical and literary treatises. He received a BA in voice performance from Olivet Nazarene University in 2000 and MA in music from Ball State University in 2002.
