John Haines holds a Canada Research Chair (Tier II) at the University of Toronto, where he is cross-appointed at the Faculty of Music and the Centre for Medieval Studieshttp://www.chass.utoronto.ca/medieval/. His primary areas of research are thirteenth-century monophony and its reception, and he has published related articles in Acta musicologica, Early Music, Journal of Plainsong and Medieval Music, Music & Letters and other journals. He has recently published a book entitled Eight Centuries of Troubadours and Trouvères: The Changing Identity of Medieval Music (Cambridge University Press, 2004), which details the interaction of scholarly research and popular reception in the shaping of these repertoires. For his research, he has received funding from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst at the University of Göttingen (2000), the Institut Francais de Washington for work in Paris, Marseilles and Toulouse (Gilbert Chinard Fellowship 2001) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (2002). He heads up Nota Quadrata, a research project devoted to the early development and graphic classification of medieval square notation.

He has recently published two books, "Satire in the Songs of Renart le nouvel" and "Medieval Song in Romance Languages" (both in 2010). His "Eight Centuries of Troubadours and Trouvères: The Changing Identity of Medieval Music" (Cambridge University Press, 2004), was issued in paperback version in 2009. He is also the co-editor with Randall Rosenfeld of "Music and Medieval Manuscripts: Paleography and Performance" (Ashgate Press, 2004) and the editor of "The Calligraphy of Medieval Music" (2011, forthcoming with Brepols).
