Hana Vlhová-Wörner (Lecturer) studied Musicology at the Charles University, Prague (1984–1989), and at the University of Basel, Switzerland (1991–1993). For the academic year 2000–2001, she received the Fellowship of the Swiss Government (“Bundesstipendium”) for post-doctoral studies at the University of Basel. She taught at the Charles University (1993–2000, 2001–2006) and was visiting professor at Duke University (Fall 2006) before coming to Chapel Hill. Since the early 1990s, she has presented her research regularly at major international conferences and has received multiple research fellowships for conducting archival research in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, England, Sweden, and Poland. Her numerous publications include a broad spectrum of topics in late-mediaeval music (tropes, sequences, early Reformation) and, more recently, issues on music and politics in the Czechoslovakia in the 1930s.
