Dr. Whitney Slaten Successfully Defends His Ph.D. Dissertation

At 11:00AM, on Monday, October 16, 2017, I successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation, entitled Doing Sound: An Ethnography of Fidelity, Temporality, and Labor Among Live Sound Engineers. The defense took place in the Center for Ethnomusicology at Columbia University. I am honored by each committee member’s close reading of the work and their commentary, and I am deeply proud of this accomplishment!

The committee included John Szwed, George Lewis, Walter Frisch, Chris Washburne, and Aaron Fox.
