Dr. Michalis Poupazis is a Lecturer in Ethnomusicology and Programme Director for the MA in Ethnomusicology at University College Cork. His research focuses on ethnomusicology, popular music studies, and Mediterranean diaspora cultures, particularly exploring how music intersects with sensory memory, migration, and cultural resilience.
- Current projects include a major study on cultural resilience in post-conflict Mediterranean societies through music and food.
- He combines analytical precision with ethnographic depth, as seen in his recent work on Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb and its implications for male emotional subjectivity.
His research interests span theories of narrative, sound and identity, and algorithmic impact on cultural behavior. Recent publications analyze Mediterranean diaspora practices, postmodernist tendencies in music, and nostalgia in post-conflict contexts. He supervises students in ethnomusicology, music and diaspora, and interdisciplinary music research.
Awarded the Irish Research Council Postdoctoral Fellowship (2018) and multiple scholarships, he actively participates in international academic committees and conferences. His teaching includes courses like Music in Culture and Society and Sound Studies and Musicology.
