About Sadie Couture

I'm finishing my PhD in Communication Studies at McGill University, and am an incoming postdoctoral fellow at the Smithsonian Instiution's National Museum of American History. I am a media historian, and I study the interactions between culture and technology. I have an expertise in radio history and sound studies—my dissertation is a history of call-in radio in the United States and Canada. I am interested in environmental history and communications, subjectification through media formats, emerging media, participatory cultures, infrastructure studies, material media studies, cultural studies, media and political formations and much more!

Sadie Couture is a historian of digital culture drawing insights from media theory, science and technology studies, and sound studies to make sense of our contemporary media landscapes. Find out more about her work at https://www.sadiecouture.com/.
