Jasmin Goll is a historical musicologist and theater scholar and Ph.D. candidate in musicology at the University of Bern. In her dissertation “Dis:connected by Wire. Music by Telephone Wires as an ‘Audible Infrastructure,’ 1877–1930,” she studies concerts and opera performances delivered by telephones in North America and Europe through the lenses of listening history and infrastructural concepts. From September until May 2025, she was a visiting scholar at the Department of Music at New York University (advisor: Fanny Gribenski) and a short-term fellow at the German Historical Institute in Washington D.C. She has given talks about her project at different international conferences and departments, e.g. the annual meetings of the IFTR, AMS, and SHOT. Her research on her Ph.D. project has been supported by fellowships and grants from the German Historical Institute in Washington D.C., the University of Bern, and the Berne University Research Foundation.
Jasmin Goll holds an MA in musicology from Humboldt University and a BA in musicology and theater studies from the University of Bayreuth. Furthermore, she was a lecturer in musicology at the universities in Bayreuth, Berlin, and Bern and worked at the Research Institute for Music Theatre in Bayreuth (fimt) and the Ernst Busch University of Theatre Arts in Berlin. She published articles, among others, on the image of women on the operatic stage during the Third Reich in Nuremberg, Germany, and an article about the disco genre in the German Democratic Republic in the 1970s and 80s.
From 2025 to 2027, Jasmin Goll is part of the interdisciplinary working group of the research project “Music Listening and Music Seeing: Historical Reciprocities from the 17th to the 21st centuries” (Universities of Potsdam, Marburg, and Max Planck Institute of the History of Science Berlin), working on a collaborative publication.
