Biography

Julian Schaap (1988) is assistant professor in sociology of music, currently working at Erasmus University Rotterdam. While broadly interested in culture, media and the arts, his work focuses on how preferences for culture and media – music specifically – relate to people’s positions in the social world. In other words: how music brings people together (or closer to ‘ourselves’), or how it reinforces inequalities and drives people apart. He is also interested in how technology and digitalization affects those processes.
