About

My research, supervision, and teaching address musical life in society, culture, and politics, including music's connections with labour, media, and technology. Although I am not a trained historian, I am committed to historicism. I value being part of a community of scholarly practice, which includes a regular reading group with the Music Industry Research Collective (MIRC).
