Biography
I am a Reader in Music working at the intersection between music sociology, ethnomusicology and popular music studies, and teaching at Liverpool John Moores University since 2007. My educational background includes bachelors' and master’s degrees from Germany and the UK, and a Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield. I have authored two monographs (Trajectories and Themes in World Popular Music: Globalization, Capitalism, Identity, 2018; Experiencing Ethnomusicology, 2009) and two edited books (The Globalization of Musics in Transit: Music Migration and Tourism, 2014; Ethnomusicology in the Academy: International Perspectives, 2011), as well as journal articles, book chapters, open-access resources, encyclopaedia entries, and others. Currently I am working on an edited The Oxford Handbook of Global Popular Music (2 volumes) (2021), as well as a monograph on Musical Meaning, and Experience in Everyday Life (2022), and (longer term) on a monograph on the music of Paraguay. I am the editor-in-chief of the Journal of World Popular Music and book series editor of Transcultural Music Studies (Equinox). During 2010-2013, I served as co-editor of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology’s flagship journal Ethnomusicology Forum, served as a member of the journal's International Advisory Board (2014-2016), and currently serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Popular Music Education and Metal Music Studies. I am a member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM, 2019-2021), was a committee member of the British Forum for Ethnomusicology (until 2011) and hold professional memberships with the Society for Ethnomusicology, British Forum for Ethnomusicology, IASPM, Royal Musicological Association, and others. Since 2018, I am serving a second term as an invited member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council's (AHRC) Peer Review College, and have reviewed major funding grants, book proposals and article submissions. I am an award-winning educator with experience teaching ethnomusicology, media and cultural studies, world music and popular music studies, and sociology. I am the Chair of FRDC (Faculty Research Degree Committee) in the Faculty of Arts, Professional and Social Science at LJMU (2018-), act as a link tutor for postgraduate courses at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) (2018-), and served as an external examiner for MA Music programmes at the University of Sheffield (2014-2018). Prior to embarking on my music-academic career, I completed a professional Masters in Banking Services and Operations (1992-1995) and BSc in Business Economics with Marketing specialisation (1995-1999).

music ethnography
music in Paraguay
MPhil/PhD and MRes students:
I am keen to attract MPhil/ PhD and MRes students to work at the intersection of music and critical social and cultural theory. This includes research located (broadly speaking) in ethnomusicology, popular music studies, cultural musicology and cultural sociology of music. I am also keen to supervise MPhil and PhD students working on the variety of institutional forms by which music is produced and circulated today: from record labels, festivals and melas to universities, specialist institutes and conservatories. This includes work at the intersection of music, globalization and capitalism, as well as research in the area of educational ethnomusicology and sociology of music education. Please write to me to propose a research project in these very broad areas.
