Happy AMS Week! I'll be presenting some dissertation(/future book project?) material on the Race, Nation, and Identity panel on Friday at 4pm. My talk will be of particular interest to folks thinking between popular music studies, global music history, and Afro-diasporic studies.

Remember when North Macedonia tried to send the late great Romani singer Esma Redžepova to Eurovision with a song that glorified the ruling nationalist party’s controversial urban development project?

Spent my morning with some excellent students at Roberts Wesleyan University! I gave a guest lecture on one of my diss chapters, and the students were eager to critique notions of representation, sameness, and "world music." Thanks to my brilliant colleague Dr. Eleanor Price for the invite.

A year ago today! So grateful for the invitation to join Malmö University’s School of Arts and Communication as a Visiting Scholar last year. There, I gave a talk on one of my dissertation chapters.
Very excited that an article version of this chapter will be published later this year!
