Talk:
The Aged South: Old Age and Aging in Southern Music

Simon Buck is a Ph.D. student at Northumbria University (UK). His doctoral dissertation redeploys concepts from age studies and the medical humanities to enrich our understanding of southern musical cultures in the twentieth century. His primary ambition for this research trip is to engage with archival materials that reveal the role of age in the production, reception, and preservation of vernacular music in the region.
