Chloë Alaghband-Zadeh is an ethnomusicologist specializing in contemporary music of South Asia and its diaspora. Her research explores the intersections of musical sound and the ways of listening that underpin structures of power, particularly focusing on gender and class. Her work spans various disciplines, synthesizing perspectives from ethnomusicology and music analysis while contributing new theoretical insights on affect and emotion. Before joining the University of Manchester, she held a three-year Research Fellowship at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where she was involved in a Leverhulme-funded project on Migrant Memory and Postcolonial Imagination. Her publications have been featured in prominent journals such as Ethnomusicology, Ethnomusicology Forum, and Analytical Approaches to World Music.
