#introduction I'm a cultural sociologist, the kind that's always asking "How did this get made?" My most recent project explores the pathways of the creative process by lookong at how songwriters write songs. I'm also interested in posthumous reputations, cultural consecration, and sociological theories of cognition. #culturalsociology #sociologyofmusic
