Dr Philpott holds the fulltime position of Early Career Development Fellowship (teaching and research) at the University of Tasmania Conservatorium of Music. She teaches a range of undergraduate and postgraduate units within the fields of music history, music theory and musicology, across both classical and contemporary music programs. Her PhD dissertation, completed in 2010, focused on the projection of an Australian identity in the music and persona of expatriate composer Malcolm Williamson and she has published several articles related to this research, including “The Master and the Media: Malcolm Williamson in the Press” for the book Musical Islands: Exploring Connections Between Music, Place and Research, published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing (2009). She contributed to the entry on Williamson in the most recent edition of Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart (2007) and has also published book reviews and an article on Peter Sculthorpe’s musical response to social injustice in his String Quartet No. 14 for Context: Journal of Music Research (2004).
Dr Philpott is the current Secretary of the Tasmanian Chapter of the Musicological Society of Australia, a position she has held since the Chapter’s formation in 2007. She is also a music critic for the Mercury newspaper (Hobart) and regularly presents pre-concert talks for the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra’s Master Series.
