Student Supervision

I am open to working with students on projects about:

• Everyday music engagement, practices, identity
• Digital listening technologies
• The role of music and arts in promoting health and well-being
• Music/radio, ageing, & well-being
• Facilitating music engagement
• Audience and performer interaction

If you are interested, get in touch with a research question/idea/proposal.

As a supervisor, I aim to assist students by:

• offering advice in your field of study and providing direction for your research/career;
• setting milestones (collaboratively) and monitoring your progress;
• providing feedback, encouragement and support.

For more information, check out my advising statement. All students who work with me are members of my lab.
