Martin J.M. Hoondert is an associate professor at Tilburg University specializing in the study of musicology, theology, and music rituals. His research primarily focuses on death rituals and practices of memorialization in contemporary societies, particularly within the context of Dutch society. He has explored themes such as cremation rituals, changing mentalities towards death in Western societies, contemporary Requiem, and the function of music in funeral rites. Hoondert has published extensively on the socio-religious functions of music, arguing that the relationship between ritual studies and musicology is often overlooked due to a lack of musical knowledge in the language used to describe how music operates in rituals. He is actively involved in projects focused on contemporary death rituals and commemorative practices, particularly in relation to genocides in Rwanda and Srebrenica. His expertise encompasses ritual studies, musicology, death studies, and memory studies, and he currently contributes to the COST Action program 'Cultural Victimology,' working on the intersections of victimization and artistic expressions in various media.
