Professor Don McLean has been Dean of the Faculty of Music of the University of Toronto since January 2011, where he and his colleagues are pursuing an ambitious program of renewal and expansion. From 2001-2010, he was Dean of the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal and Chair of the Board of CIRMMT (its Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology). A graduate of the University of Toronto and the Royal Conservatory of Music, Professor McLean’s research areas include the music of Alban Berg and New Viennese School, motive and hierarchy in Schenkerian theory and analysis, the emotional impact of music across multiple genres, and the policy and practice of higher education in music. Renowned for his innovations in interdisciplinary teaching and research, and success in infrastructure development, he speaks internationally on the changing context of music in the academy and in society.
