English, Communication and Theatre Department Profile Colleen Baade holds graduate degrees in Spanish language and literatures, organ performance, musicology and performance practice. Research for her doctoral dissertation on nuns’ music in seventeenth-century Castile and her ongoing work on nuns’ music in seventeenth and eighteenth-century Toledo have been funded by grants from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Program for Cultural Cooperation between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and United States Universities; more recently she received a research grant from the Janet Levy Fund for Independent Scholars.
In 1989 she was awarded a Fulbright grant to study early keyboards with Professor José Luis González Uriol at the Conservatorio de Música in Saragossa, Spain. She attended the 1995 Aston Magna Academy, “Cultural Cross-Currents: Spain and Latin America, ca. 1550–1570”; the 1996 Summer Institute in Spanish and Hispanic-American Archival Sciences (paleography) at the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies; and the 2005 National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute, “A Literature of Their Own? Women Writing—Venice, London, Madrid, Paris—1550–1700.” She has presented conference papers at various meetings of professional associations in musicology and history. Her essays appear in volumes on women and music, history of female monasticism and historical pedagogy.
