In the pilot episode of our "music and politics" miniseries, we talk to Dr Tami Gadir, Lecturer in Music Industry in the School of Media and Communication at RMIT University. We ask Tami about her new book, Dance music: a feminist account of an ordinary culture (Bloomsbury Academic, 2023), and through this discussion, introduce some of the bigger questions about music, politics and society.
