Michael Frishkopf, Associate Professor of Music at the University of Alberta, is a graduate of Yale College (BS Mathematics, 1984), Tufts University (MA Ethnomusicology, 1989), and the University of California, Los Angeles (Ph.D. Music, 1999).  Dr. Frishkopf’s current ethnomusicological research interests include ; Sufism and music; the music industry in the Arab world; Arab music theory; Islamic ritual performance; music and religion of West Africa; the sociology of musical taste; and distributed digital archiving.  <o:p></o:p>

He has received numerous fellowships supporting his research, including grants from Fulbright, the American Research Center in Egypt, the Social Science Research Council, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Killam Foundation (Canada), the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada, supporting  his extensive fieldwork in Egypt.<o:p></o:p>
