Writing

I have experience in both print and online journalism, having worked as a beat reporter and columnist at the Daily Pennsylvanian; as a blogger, contributor and editorial assistant at Next American City; and a freelancer for Philadelphia Weekly.

Reviews of music books for MAKE magazine:

• Review of Dan Charnas’ The Big Payback/Tricia Rose’s The Hip Hop Wars, Issue 11
• Review of Caleb Kelly’s Cracked Media, November 8, 2012

I have a forthcoming article in the journal Musica Judaica: ”Ritual and Recreation: Agency, Exigency, and Pedagogy in the Sounded Practices of a Philadelphia Reconstructionist Synagogue.”

Unfortunately, links to my other academic writing are not available at this time.
