About Gummo Clare
I've recently completed a PhD at the School of Media and Communicatoins at the University of Leeds. My thesis is a conjunctural analysis of the contemporary jazz scene in London, with particular focus on digitalisation and the cultural politics of race in the media industries. I work mainly within popular music studies, particularly jazz studies and the music of the Black Atlantic; cultural and media industry studies; and critical theory. I'm also a keen amateur musician.NBN Episodes hosted by Gummo:
