Anne Elise Koppes is a PhD student studying musicology with a certificate in Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University. Focusing on the economic and social exploitation of musicians of the twentieth century, Annie seeks to advocate for social justice and change through intersectional approaches to music history. In the past, her research has examined the exploitation of jazz and blues musicians such as Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ethel Waters, and Jelly Roll Morton among others. She is also interested in the social, economic, and political impacts of psychedelic rock and pop, specifically relating to queer studies.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music with certificates in Violoncello Pedagogy and French Language, Literature, and Culture from Colorado State University.
