Kris’s research centers around the music of twentieth- and twenty-first-century composers, computational analysis, music pedagogy, education, and new media publishing. His research appears in Hybrid Pedagogy, Digital Humanities Now, Music Theory Online, Engaging Students: Essays in Music Pedagogy (for which he served as coordinating editor), and Educating Modern Learners. His current projects include a computational corpus study on harmony and form in popular music and a computational corpus study on 19th-century German poetry and art song, both in collaboration with researchers from outside CU. Kris is also one of two scholars spearheading a new-media publishing venture, Hybrid Pedagogy Publishing (hybrid.pub) that focuses on open, social, hackable publishing. He is a leader in incorporating critical pedagogy, the inverted classroom, and inquiry-driven instruction in college-level music theory courses.
