Early life and education[edit]
Benjamin Piekut earned his Bachelor of Arts at Hampshire College, where he studied music and philosophy. He subsequently earned his M.A. in composition at Mills College. He studied for two years at the University of California, San Diego, and later received his Ph.D. in historical musicology from Columbia University in 2008.[2][3] His dissertation, titled "Testing, testing…: New York experimentalism 1964," was advised by composer and musicologist George E.

Career[edit]
After graduating from Columbia in 2008, Piekut became a lecturer in music at the University of Southampton that same year. He remained at Southampton until 2011, at which point he became an assistant professor of music at Cornell University. Following a single-semester stint as visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley in 2014, Piekut earned tenure at Cornell and was promoted to the status of Associate Professor.[5] He currently serves as chair of the Department of Music.[6]
Piekut's 2010 article "Deadness: Technologies of the Intermundane," co-authored with Jason Stanyek, was named one of MIT Press’s “50 Most Influential Articles” across disciplines,[7] [8] and as of 2023 is listed as one of The Drama Review's most-read articles.[9] "Deadness" also won the 2011 Outstanding Article award from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education for "brilliantly extend[ing] debates in theatre and performance studies about liveness, presence, archives, remains, temporality, history, and futurity into new realms."[10] [11] Piekut's 2019 book Henry Cow: The World is a Problem, an analysis and biography of the English experimental rock group Henry Cow, received a Certificate of Merit in the category of Best Historical Research in Recorded Rock or Popular Music from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections.[12][13]
