Wendy Hsu is a PhD Candidate in the Critical and Comparative Studies in Music program at the University of Virginia. She is currently working on her dissertation, an ethnography that explores the social and musical life of Asian American musicians actively performing in independent (indie) rock music scenes. In research, she is interested in developing digital methods that extend and reconceptualize ethnographic processes in contemporary contexts. With the support from the Graduate Fellowship in the Digital Humanities offered by the UVa Scholars’ Lab, she implemented methods of digital fieldwork, applying web-scraping techniques to map the social networks of the musicians in her dissertation research.
