Author: Brian Fauteux / University of Alberta

Brian Fauteux is Assistant Professor of Popular Music and Media Studies at the University of Alberta. He studies music industries and music radio, often from the interrelated perspectives of cultural studies, popular music studies, and cultural policy. He received his doctorate in Communication from Concordia University (Montreal, QC) in 2012 and in 2014 completed a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Postdoctoral Fellowship in Media & Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His first book, Music in Range: The Culture of Canadian Campus Radio, explores the history of Canadian campus radio, highlighting the factors that have shaped its close relationship with local music and culture. He is currently a co-investigator on a SSHRC-funded research project that investigates copyright, independent music, and monetization in the digital music industries.
