Marian Caulfield
Course Co-ordinator and Teaching Assistant on RG1001: Religions in the Contemporary World: an Introduction to the Study of Religions.
Marian's research interest lies in the realm of Religion and Popular Culture and her work is influenced by her involvement in the disciplines of both Music and the Study of Religions (BA Music, UCC, 2012 and MA Contemporary Religion, UCC 2014). Marian traverses these disciplines through the examination of various philosophies of sound and sonority and their links to the 'transcendent' found in the experimental sound and music scene. She focuses on exploring these links through her fieldwork projects, giving papers at national and international conferences and through her publication.
