Charity Marsh, PhD is an interdisciplinary artist, musician, and ethnomusicologist specializing in interactive media and popular music. She currently holds the Canada Research Chair Tier 2, in Interactive Media and Performance in the Faculty of Media, Art, & Performance at the University of Regina.[1] Dr. Marsh incorporates interdisciplinary approaches and multiple medias, including turntablism, video, radio broadcasting, text, and soundscape composition.[1]
Education[edit]
Marsh earned a Bachelor of Music in Musicology, Theory, and Performance as well as a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Women's Studies and a minor in German from the University of Ottawa. In 1998 she earned her MA in Women Studies from York University deconstructing the dynamic and contested relationship between nature and technology in the Icelandic artist, Björk's 1997 album Homogenic. In April 2005, Dr. Marsh defended her thesis entitled, "Raving Cyborgs, Queering Practices, and Discourses of Freedom: The Search for Meaning in Toronto's Rave Culture", completing her PhD requirements for the doctoral program in Popular Music Studies and Ethnomusicology at York University.[1]
Research[edit]
Charity Marsh's research focuses on how interactive media and performance contribute to discussions about regionalism, cultural identity, and community. She is particularly interested in DJ cultures and indigenous hip hop in Canada’s North and West. She is working to develop a deeper understanding of the effects of colonialism, multiculturalism, and globalization on interactive media and performance cultures in western and northern Canada.[2]
Dr. Marsh's current research focuses on interactive media and performance and how cultures and practices associated with this broad category contribute to dialogues concerning regionalism, cultural identity, and community specifically within western and northern Canada, and more generally on a global scale. In 2007, Dr. Marsh was awarded a Canadian Foundation for Innovation Grant and a Saskatchewan Fund for Innovation and Science grant to develop the Interactive Media and Performance Labs as a way to support her ongoing research. With the development of these labs at the University of Regina, the emphasis of her research and art practices expanded to include the following areas:
- Canadian (Indigenous) Hip Hop Cultures
- DJ Cultures including EDM, Club-Culture, Rave Culture, Techno, Psy-Trance, on-line, community, and pirate radio
- Isolation, Identity, and Space: Production and Performance of Popular Music in Western and Northern Canada.
