**Liliana Carrizo** received her PhD in Ethnomusicology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2018. Her dissertation, “Exiled Nostalgia and Musical Remembrance: Songs of Grief, Joy, and Tragedy among Iraqi Jews,” examines the private song of Iraqi Jews, wherein individuals draw from a well of musical resources associated with their pasts—including Arab, Jewish, and Muslim modal practices—in crafting biographical songs of migration and cultural exile. Based on two-and-a-half years of fieldwork and archival research, her current book project considers how the intertextuality of musical sound allows exiled Iraqis a means for accessing powerful, multi-sensorial memories of past experiences, places, and emotions—ones that are crucial to their self-conceptions in the present day. Not only do these private songs demonstrate a remarkable Judeo-Arab musical synthesis, they also serve as an archive of memory, migration, and interreligious engagement. Carrizo received her BA in Music from Williams College, and an MM in Musicology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her work has been supported by the American Association of University Women, the Fulbright program, the American Academic Research Institute in Iraq, and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, among others.
