Eleanor Price joined the faculty of the Hugh Hodgson School of Music at the University of Georgia from KU Leuven in Belgium, where she was a postdoctoral research associate. Price earned her PhD in historical musicology from the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester in 2025, where she also earned a masters in musicology (2021) and an advanced certificate in ethnomusicology (2023). Price’s research focuses on identity-crafting gestures present in the thirteenth-century musical genre known as the motet. Her scholarly interests include the medieval relationship between music and literature, premodern conceptions of social identity, the global Middle Ages, and digital humanities. She is the author of the Motet Text Database, and online reference tool that makes the texts of thirteenth-century motets digitally accessible, searchable, and discoverable.

Price has presented internationally at conferences in musicology and medieval studies, and her 2023 paper at the International Congress on Medieval Studies won the Karrer Travel Award. Her research has been supported by the American Musicological Society’s M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet Award for Research in France, the Elsa T. Johnson Fellowship in Musicology, and the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Travel Grant. She has also taught music history at Roberts Wesleyan University and served as a Senior Staff Editor at the Middle English Text Series.
