About
I am a Lecturer in Music Industry in the School of Media and Communication. I write, teach, and supervise on society, culture, media, and the arts. The areas I have researched and written most about are gender and class politics, especially within the contexts of global popular music. I have teaching, supervision, and curriculum design experience across qualitative research methods (fieldwork, interviews, digital ethnography), the cultural and media industries, and applications of social theory in cultural settings. I am on extended leave and currently based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The best way to get in touch with me during this time is through the contact form on this website.

Research interests
I am interested in the role that the arts and culture can play in building emancipatory political movements from below, including as humble but essential support acts to the rudiments of collective organizing and political education. My research to date has addressed the mechanisms that promote or hinder participation in musical life, as well as the mechanisms in musical life that promote or hinder political progress.
