Braxton D. Shelley specializes in African American popular music with
research and critical interests that extend into media studies, sound
studies, phenomenology, homiletics, and theology. In this lecture, he
will discuss how Internet memes, gifs, and videos offer various forms
of social critique that materialize race and belief. Shelley completed
a PhD in the history and theory of music and a master of divinity at
the University of Chicago. He earned a BA in music and history from
Duke University. He received the 2016 Paul A. Pisk Prize from the
American Musicological Society, the 2016 Graduate Student Prize from
the Society for Christian Scholarship in Music, and the 2018 Dean's
Distinguished Dissertation Award from the University of Chicago
Division of the Humanities.
