Word

Here you’ll find sundry written works in a variety of voices, styles, forums, and forms.

Academic Writing

A selection of recent publications — some on the web, some as pdfs.

Teaching

I’ve taught courses on music, culture, and society at MIT, Brandeis University, the University of Chicago, Harvard Extension School, Brown University, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Here are links to several syllabi — some as HTML/blogposts, some as pdfs.

Journalistic Writing

When I can find the time, I like to write freelance popular music criticism as an experiment in voice and an exercise in communication beyond the academic sphere.

Press

The following are profiles of / interviews with me, but as Public Enemy say, “Don’t believe the hype.”

Here are some radio appearances I’ve made:

  • DJ /Rupture’s “Mudd Up!” (WFMU): Talking reggaeton with Raquel Rivera and /Rupture.

Wayne Marshall

I'm an ethnomusicologist. My research interests are American music (in the broadest sense), race and nation, networked publics, and digital culture.

From Fall 2009 - Spring 2011, I'll be working with the support of a Mellon Fellowship at MIT, based in FLL (Foreign Languages and Literatures). To see more about my research project, go here.
