Research

I’m John David Vandevert, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in the department of musicology under the supervision of Dr. Ann Werner and Dr. Per-Henning Olson. I’m currently studying post-Soviet Russian rap during the 1990s, focusing on the aestheticized (predominantly music-based) negotiation of the post-Soviet, ‘Russian,’ identity through rap. As part of my research, I am also collecting archival materials from the 1990s pertaining to rap in Russia as well as archiving online sites about rap in the Russian language and ‘Russian’ rap. I am an avid piano player, usually only dwelling in repertoire from the early-19th century backwards, and I find interest in almost any area of philosophy (specifically German Idealism and Hegel's philosophical writings), musicology, humanities studies (and other affiliated areas), and Hip Hop studies.
