Mary Stuart Lewis

Originally working as a music instructor and research associate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology since 1977, Lewis moved to Brown University as an assistant professor of music in 1981. She later published Sources and the Circulation of Renaissance Music, a 2012 edited volume on the production and historical role of Renaissance music. She also served as council secretary of the American Musicological Society from 1987 to 1991, as well as president of the AMS' New England chapter from 1984 to 1986.

In 1995, Lewis was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study Renaissance composer-printer Antonio Gardano. She also received grants from the American Council of Learned Societies (1980 and 1987), The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation (1980–1981), the American Philosophical Society (1985), the Bibliographical Society of America (1986), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (1995).
