Ariane Couture

Ariane Couture serves as an Assistant Professor at the School of Music, contributing to academic instruction and research within the institution's musicological framework.

Her educational trajectory features advanced scholarly training:

• Postdoctoral fellowship in musicology at Université Laval (2015) examining actor dynamics in music research-creation projects through field observation methodologies
• Postdoctoral fellowship in musicology at Université Laval (2014) analyzing profiles of research-creation agents in musical contexts
• Ph.D. in Musicology from Université de Montréal (2013) investigating institutional frameworks of Montreal's contemporary music scene (1966-2006) across four major ensembles
• M.A. in Musicology from Université de Montréal (2006) exploring conceptual hybridity in Jean Piché's compositional works

Her research program critically engages with twentieth and twenty-first century music historiography, interrogating cultural curation practices, feminist epistemologies, organizational structures of Quebec's music sector, and digital transformations in cultural production. This interdisciplinary approach bridges historical analysis with contemporary critical theory to examine power dynamics in musical institution-building.
