I am a Lecturer in Music Industry at the School of Media and Communication, RMIT University.*

For my formal education and academic history, please scroll down to the section below this description. You can request a full CV by contacting me.

I write, teach, and supervise on society, culture, media, and the arts. My interests are in class and gender politics, and I have specialized in writing about these topics within the contexts of global popular music, cultural industries, and labour.

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.

More broadly, 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.

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.

Feel free to explore my website and contact me with any questions.
