Victoria Tori Dalzell is an ethnomusicologist whose current research focuses on congregational song practices in churches in Nepal. At Yale, she will be working with materials in the Nepal Church History Project and the institutional archives of the two largest international missions organizations in Nepal housed in Yale Divinity school’s special collections to explore questions concerning the genesis of the Khristiya Bhajan, the hymnal commonly used in Nepali churches today. When she is not researching and writing about music, Tori directs writing support services for graduate and doctoral students at Anderson University in South Carolina.
