Jack Harrison

Jack Harrison (PhD in Ethnomusicology, University of Toronto) is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw. His research sits at the intersection of music and human–animal studies and explores what might be revealed about music’s relationship to sociality when society is framed in terms of multispecies entanglements. His key publications include the book chapter “‘Public Enemy Number One!’: Music and Mosquito Sound in Disney’s The Winged Scourge (1943)” (Metzler 2025), the special issue “Figurations of Interspecies Harmony in North American Literature and Culture” as co-editor (European Journal of American Studies, 2024), and the journal article “From the Horse’s Mouth: Musical ‘Originality’ in Freestyle Dressage” (Ethnomusicology Forum, 2020). In his spare time, Jack enjoys tap dancing, table tennis, and playing the erhu (a Chinese fiddle).
