PhD Student
Paxton Haven holds a BA in Political Science from The George Washington University and a MA in Media Studies from The University of Texas at Austin. Paxton’s master's thesis reckoned with trends of early-aughts nostalgia to examine collective memory in musical genres through the shared temporality and networked co-production techniques of a specific cohort of contemporary music artists, producers, and promoters. His current research interests include digital networks of contemporary music scenes, brand and consumer culture, and the cross-platform negotiations of the creative industries’ cultural production. His published scholarly work can be found in Flow, The Velvet Light Trap, and New Media & Society.
