Tiffany Pollock holds a PhD in Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies and an MA in Ethnomusicology. Her ethnographic research in Thailand and Canada has explored the intersections of music, dance, and migration and considers how music and dance, as social practices, provide affective avenues for people to contend with social, cultural and political life. She is the author of Fire Dancers in Thailand’s Tourism Industry: Art, Affect, and Labour (Cornell University Press 2024)
