Author Information
Frank Gunderson is Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at Florida State University. His research interests include African and African diasporan history, musical labor, sonic repatriation, biographical approaches, human rights, and documentary film. He is an active member of the African Studies Association (ASA), the American Anthropological Association (AAA), and the Society for Ethnomusicology (SEM). He is editor of the SEM academic journal Ethnomusicology, and has also served as the journal's Film, Video, and Multimedia Review Editor. He has published articles and reviews in Africa Today, History and Anthropology, Soundings, and African Music, and has twice been a guest editor of the journal World of Music.
Robert Lancefield leads digital work at the Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University. A former president of the Museum Computer Network (MCN), the organization for people who do digital work in museums, Lancefield chairs the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) Council of Affiliates. Rob's Wesleyan University MA thesis considered the repatriation of recorded sound and the cultural meanings of intangible cultural documentation. His PhD dissertation examined how ideas about musical bodies and voices lent false credence to ideas of orientalized difference. Formerly a professional musician and recording engineer, Rob performed widely with Talking Drums, a US ensemble of Ghanaians and Americans.
Bret Woods is an ethnomusicologist, author, filmmaker, and theoretician whose work explores music, media, and narrative through the lenses of mediology, anthropology, and social genre theory. Their main areas of focus are digital media studies, narratives and languages, performance and dissemination (through engagement of community and technology), and traditional musics. Bret is an active proponent of "ethnomediology," their approach to studying expression and interaction mediated through access to archives, digital technologies, and the Internet. Bret's research explores engagement in and negotiation of traditions globally and locally through contemporary media.
