She completed both her undergraduate degree (1979) and PhD (1985) in Cambridge University's Social Anthropology Department and has conducted extensive field research in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia (China), and Siberian republics including Altai, Khakassia and Tyva.
Dr. Pegg's educational background is firmly rooted in Cambridge University, where she earned her degree in 1979 and completed her PhD in Social Anthropology in 1985. Following her doctoral studies, she undertook postdoctoral research in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China, establishing the foundation for her lifelong scholarly engagement with Inner Asian cultures.
Her research interests center on performativity, music and sound, with complementary foci on religion and ritual, Indigeneity and identities, nomadism and landscape, and embodiment. With a strong background in practical music-making, she approaches the anthropology of music through both scholarly and embodied perspectives, examining how musical practices articulate cultural identities and social relations in Inner Asian contexts.
