Biography
Mark Duffett is a Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Chester, UK.
'Reading through Popular Music Fandom encouraged me to reflect on my own experience as a music fan, and of the many fandoms I have inhabited over the course of my musical and academic career—after all, our early love of music is usually what fuels the curiosity to want to understand more deeply the strange, enjoyable, giddy experience of being a "fan". As a collection of chapters, ideas and analyses, Popular Music Fandom offers a varied, interesting and important contribution to the growing area of fandom and fan culture studies that is certain to influence further research.' - Jadey O'Regan, Griffith University, Dance Cult
