About Me
I'm a PhD researcher in social sciences at the Open University. I also edit for an academic journal, do collaborative research and have completed impact evaluation and project coordination for music funds.
My PhD focused on public funding for popular musicians in the UK through a case study of the Momentum music fund. I was interested in how public funding helps with emerging musicians’ careers and interacts with other support systems. I researched the ways diversity and talent were considered in the funding and how funding decisions were made. Find me on Twitter and LinkedIn. Visit my Open University profile.

Bio
|
Originally from Texas and long time Austinite, I now live in London. Music-wise, I'm a veteran of SXSW music festival - having been five times - and enjoy going to gigs. I've had a brief songwriting stint and still enjoy singing. For a couple of years I wrote for the defunct music blog The Recommender, where I cultivated an appreciation for going behind the scenes and talking to musicians. Academically, my background is interdisciplinary with degrees in sociology, geography and cultural and creative industries.
