Joseph & Bessie Feinberg Foundation Stage
Saturday, Sept. 7th at 3:30pm

Heather Augustyn is Assistant Professor of Practice in Writing at Purdue University Northwest. She is author of eight books on ska and Jamaican music history and has interviewed hundreds of musicians which are housed at the Archives of African American Music and Culture at Indiana University for epistemological use. She has been invited to speak in Jamaica, Vietnam, Spain, and at conferences all over the United States about the history and development of ska music. Her work on the role of women fills a crucial gap in historiography.
