Todd Michael Borgerding

Todd Michael Borgerding serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Music, Theatre and Dance at Rhode Island College, teaching core music theory, sight singing, counterpoint, and historical literature courses including MUS 230-237, MUS 305, MUS 310, and MUS 360.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Musicology from the University of Michigan
• M.A. in Musicology from the University of Minnesota
• B.S. in Music Education from Minnesota State University, Mankato

Dr. Borgerding's research centers on Renaissance and Baroque music with specialized expertise in gender/sexuality theory, Spanish and Latin American music traditions, and performance practices. His scholarly work critically examines intersections of music, rhetoric, sacred traditions, and identity in early modern Europe, particularly through analysis of liturgical contexts and cultural representations.

His 1999-2006 publications reveal consistent thematic focus on Iberian musical traditions, with recurring exploration of homoeroticism in sacred spaces, rhetorical dimensions of vocal polyphony, and the cultural significance of choirboys. Key methodological approaches integrate historical musicology with gender theory and performance practice analysis.
