Episode 46 - Dr. Veronica Skrimsjö, Author and Researcher

It’s our final episode of the year, and we are closing it out on the thoughtful topic of diversification of vinyl. We’re looking at the topic not only from an employment, but collector view. We sat down with Women in Vinyl Advisory Board member, educator, author and researcher Dr Veronica Skrimsjö to discuss what she has uncovered on the topic, why certain generalizations and stereotypes happen and what we can do to break them down. Learn more on this topic and more in her upcoming publication: “The Vinyl Revival, Gender and Collecting Aesthetics” and in the meantime check out her first release, “'I, Me, Mine?', An Initial Consideration of (Popular Music Record) Collecting Aesthetics, Identities and Practices.” Find links below for more; and we look forward to seeing you next year!
