welcome.<\/strong><br data-start=\"199\" data-end=\"202\" \/>My name is <strong data-start=\"213\" data-end=\"232\">Sepideh Khaksar<\/strong>, and I am a scholar and practitioner working at the crossroads of <strong data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"313\">musicology<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"315\" data-end=\"330\">archaeology<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"365\">cultural heritage studies<\/strong>. My academic path began at the University of Tehran, where I earned my undergraduate degree in <strong data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"475\">musicology<\/strong>. This early passion for music deepened into a wider fascination with its cultural and historical roots, leading me to pursue further studies in <strong data-start=\"620\" data-end=\"635\" data-is-only-node=\"\">archaeology<\/strong>, culminating in both a Bachelor&#8217;s and a Master&#8217;s degree in <strong data-start=\"695\" data-end=\"729\">Iranian Historical Archaeology<\/strong> in 2008.<\/p><p data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"1074\">In 2009, I moved to Berlin to begin my Pre-PhD research at the <strong data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"822\">Free University<\/strong>, where I later focused my dissertation on the <strong data-start=\"869\" data-end=\"919\">Archaeology of Music in the Middle Elamite Era<\/strong>. Since 2011, my work has combined archaeological analysis with musicological inquiry, uncovering new perspectives on the soundscapes of the ancient world.<\/p><p data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1613\">Over the years, I have conducted archaeological and ethnomusicological fieldwork across <strong data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1172\">Iran<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1189\">South India<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1201\">Turkey<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"1207\" data-end=\"1216\">Syria<\/strong>, and more recently, I\u2019ve extended my focus to include <strong data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1290\">modern heritage<\/strong> and the <strong data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1333\">archaeology of the recent past<\/strong>\u2014particularly through excavation projects on labor camps in Germany. Alongside these efforts, I have collaborated with institutions in <strong data-start=\"1468\" data-end=\"1478\">Berlin<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1496\">Amsterdam<\/strong> to digitize and curate <strong data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1546\">Iranian music archives<\/strong>, helping preserve oral and sonic traditions in accessible formats.<\/p><p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1877\">My research lies at the intersection of <strong data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"1672\">oral heritage<\/strong>\u2014including music archaeology, ethnomusicology, and the history of acoustics\u2014and <strong data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1777\">dark heritage studies<\/strong>, exploring how sites shaped by war, trauma, and displacement speak to contemporary cultural memory.<\/p><p data-start=\"1879\" data-end=\"2240\">Outside of research, I am a practicing musician, performing both <strong data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"1971\">Western classical music<\/strong> (as a <strong data-start=\"1978\" data-end=\"1989\">cellist<\/strong>) and <strong data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2022\">Iranian classical music<\/strong> (as a <strong data-start=\"2029\" data-end=\"2040\">Santoor<\/strong> player).
