She is author of German Opera and Enlightenment Philosophy: The Politics of Sensation forthcoming with Cambridge University Press, and is co-editor, with David R. M. Irving of A Cultural History of Western Music in the Age of Enlightenment, published by Bloomsbury in 2023.听 She has delivered keynote addresses at the Music Encoding Initiative in 2020 and at the RMA/British Federation for Ethnomusicology Study Day on 鈥淢usic Circulation and the Public Sphere鈥� in 2014. Joubert has also presented over 60 conference papers and invited talks in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Japan, and Ghana. Her current research includes a monograph provisionally entitled Traversing Eighteenth-Century Networks of Musical Fame, co-editing, with Austin Glatthorn, the Cambridge History of German Opera to 1820 (under contract, Cambridge University Press), and a new project on musics of Southern Africa.
