Biography
Following a 15-year career in the music industry I am interested in the implications of precarity and gig economies in creative labour as well as the impacts of gentrification on creative spaces. Particularly, I am focusing on diversity and inequality in access to employment in music spaces and how informal training (job shadowing and DIY labour) alongside informal spaces (DIY venues and events) can affect the diversity of the music industry labour force and create more entrenched systems of inequality. Alongside creative industries research I maintain an interest in active transportation and social planning and policy.
