I am a regular voice in the music industry media (BBC Woman's Hour, VI4YL documentary, Stereo Magazine) and I am regularly invited to present my published research on gender and vinyl in music city, Nashville, Tennessee. You can read the research in the Routledge music handbook below.

The Routledge Handbook of Women’s Work in Music
The Routledge Handbook of Women’s Work in Music presents a unique collection of core research by academics and music practioners from around the world, engaging with an extraordinarily wide range of topics on women’s contributions to Western and Eastern art music, popular music, world music, music education, ethnomusicology as well as in the music industries.
The handbook falls into six parts. Part I serves as an introduction to the rich variety of subject matter the reader can expect to encounter in the handbook as a whole. Part II focuses on what might be termed the more traditional strand of feminist musicology – research which highlights the work of historical and/or neglected composers.
Part III explores topics concerned with feminist aesthetics and music creation and Part IV focuses on questions addressing the performance and reception of music and musicians. The narrative of the handbook shifts in Part V to focus on opportunities and leadership in the music professions from a Western perspective. The final section of the handbook (Part VI) provides new frames of context for women’s positions as workers, educators, patrons, activists and promoters of music. This is a key reference work for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in music and gender.
