@deLaceyMusic @routledgebooks @OverTheEdgeLDN Amazing Alex! Congrats!

It’s book release day! Can’t quite believe it’s happened, but it’s now available worldwide. Here’s my mum with her copy. Thanks to everyone at @routledgebooks & my @OverTheEdgeLDN family for making this moment a reality 🙏

The focus is on how music streaming and social media platforms are changing the working conditions and creative practices of musicians. The PhDs will focus on either South Korea, Nigeria, or the Netherlands. For more information: rug.nl/about-ug/work-…

Exciting opportunity if you're interested in doing a PhD with me! Applications are invited for three fully funded, five-year PhD positions within the research project “The Platformization of Music: Towards a Global Theory” at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

Congratulations to @Robertprey! He has been awarded an @ERC_Research Starting Grant that will allow him to conduct research into how the music industry is influenced by the 'platformization’ of our society: rug.nl/news/2022/11/2… @univgroningen

Russians: Do you want to join Holland? (Namens Nederland, een referendum voor alle Russen: willen jullie bij Nederland horen?)

In particular: looking for someone who does work on Platforms, Cultural Consumption and Taste Formation, to examine taste formation through platforms (Tiktok, YouTube, Spotify, Netflix, etc.) and the implications for cultural identities, social cohesion and political polarization

@alexgekker @nielsvdoorn Fantastic news! And will deserved. Was great to see you the other night

In the 'exciting personal news' category: I've been accepted for a job as an Assistant Professor in my department. It means that I will teach somewhat less and receive paid research-time. A special thanks to @nielsvdoorn for finding the time for an interview coaching session!

@3Lmantra @mireillemoret @jud1ths1mon @josdemul @ArjunAppadurai Superb! Congratulations Payal!
