Academic Articles

Much of the work I have done has reached an academic audience as well. Below are the citations and links to peer-reviewed journal articles that address sound and music in DC. I look at geographic directions handwritten on punk fliers from the 1980s, I analyze the theme of walking in the music The Blackbyrds, and I theorize the use of ShotSpotter microphones as an instrument that undermines Washingtonians' Fourth Amendment protections.
