About Stacey

Forging new paths in sound production and media culture. I am always open to new radio, sound art, film or music projects and helping to grow emerging ideas. Currently, I am an assistant professor of media studies at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. I'm also the co-director and supervising producer for the Amplify Podcast Network, and formerly The SpokenWeb Podcast. I have a passion for history, social justice, eco-justice, and lived experience storytelling and a knack for working with academic research types. 
 
Learning is a continuous part of my academic and professional life. I hold a PhD in Communication from Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. I have my BA in Radio and Television Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University (fka Ryerson) with a specialization in audio production for radio, music and film. It was during my MA that I co-founded 'FemRadio', a Toronto (Canada) based award-winning feminist community radio collective. Past work includes: Indie88 FM, CJRU FM, Ryerson University, SSHRC Storytellers, Simon Fraser University, CBC, Business Insider, Blare Magazine, Vancouver PodFest. Production Expertise include: Field Audio Recording, Interviews and Hosting, Research and Development, Studio Engineering/Recording, Audio Post-Production, Audio Conversion and Restoration.
