Eron Smith (EE-run), originally from Decatur, GA, is an assistant professor of music theory at Oberlin College & Conservatory. She got her Ph.D. in 2022 from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. She researches post-2000 pop music, concerto form, and music-language intersections. Her first print article "Prosodic Dissonance" was published in the open-access journal Music Theory Online in 2024. As an author, Eron prefers to be cited by first name rather than last (e.g., “Eron 2023”). This preference is partially because her first name is significantly more distinct than her last and partially to question the assumption that patrilineal names are more professional. Outside of academia, Eron is also a pianist, oboist, songwriter, and parent to an amazing 8-month-old. She enjoys traveling, birding, reading sci-fi, and playing the occasional video game, and is passionate about emotional literacy and mental-health coping strategies.
