Her postgraduate research studies in the field of Musicology took place at the Music Department, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K., with Dr. David Charlton (now Reader in the Music Department, Royal Holloway, London, U.K.) and Prof. John Deathridge (now Professor in the Music Department, King's College, London) as supervisors. She was awarded the title of 'Doctor of Philosophy' on March, 1996. Her Ph.D. thesis was entitled: "Richard Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen": The Reforging of the Sword or, Towards a Reconstruction of the People's Consciousness'. Since October 1996, she is teaching at the Music Department of Ionian University, Corfu, Greece, in the field of systematic Musicology. As a postgraduate student at the Music Department, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. and, also, as a teacher at the Music Department, Ionian University, Corfu, Greece, she has been attending speeches and participating in conferences regularly. The main field of her interest is music, philosophy, and politics in nineteenth-century Germany and, also, methodological issues in education. She has actively participated in several conferences, given speeches and written articles mainly by adapting a philosophical/aesthetic perspective on Richard Wagner's work. Since her return to Greece, in October 1996, she has also been doing research on Greek music, especially on music written and/or received in between the two World wars. The first results of her research were presented at a conference organized by Erik Levi, Senior Lecturer at the Music Department, Royal Holloway, London, U.K. Her paper was entitled '"Hellenism" and Germanic tradition in Manolis Kalomiris's opera Mother's Ring (1917, minor revision in 1939); the opera's reception in Berlin's Volksoper in 1940'. The title of the conference was: 'Nation, Myth and Reality: Music in the 1930s'. The revised manuscripts of the conference will be published by Cambridge University Press.
