Current Projects
At Oxford, I’m working on a project called the “Philosophy of Contemporary Rap Music: Aesthetics, Political and Legal Responses.” This builds on my doctoral work, which mostly focused on the criminalisation of UK Drill music.
I’m also working on:
A summary article on the Aesthetics of Rap Music.
An invited chapter on true threats in Drill Rap Music
