Martin Scherzinger

Martin Scherzinger is an Associate Professor in the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. His work focuses on sound, music, and media across the 20th and 21st centuries, with a geographic emphasis on Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He examines intersections between political economy and digital sound technologies, copyright law's sociotechnical implications, aesthetics vs. censorship dynamics, and sensory dimensions of mass-mediated music.

His research also explores mathematical geometries of musical time, sound's role in philosophical discourse, and the politics of biotechnification. Scherzinger's interdisciplinary approach bridges cultural studies, media theory, and critical theory. He holds a primary appointment at NYU Steinhardt and contributes to its Media, Culture, and Communication program, which trains researchers analyzing media in global contexts.
