Kelli Smith-Biwer

Hello! I am a Professor of Instruction in Music History at Ohio University and recently defended my dissertation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research revolves around music technology and gender, with a special focus on audiophile culture. I am currently working on my first book, which will cover mid-twentieth-century high fidelity magazines, home audio technologies, and masculinity. I am also an activist working to create opportunities in electronic music and audio engineering for queer and woman-identifying musicians.
