[grc] Any university studies of community radio?

[Ted Coe]

*Zach Schiller* might be familiar to a number of y'all on this list. He's a
sociology professor at Kent State University.

Zach's 2005 dissertation was entitled *After the Barnraising: Community
Radio and the Reconstruction of the Public Sphere*.

Here's his email: *zschille at kent.edu <zschille at kent.edu>  *And his
University departmental profile is here:*

One more lead I might recommend:

*Christina Dunbar-Hester*, author of *Low Power to the People: Pirates,
Protest, and Politics in FM Radio Activism*. Christina is an Associate
Professor of Communication (with the Annenberg School) at USC here in
Southern California. Her USC bio says that she's "a "leading scholar in the
area of democratic control of technologies, including power, participation,
and political exclusion." (She had ties to Prometheus Radio which fed into
that one project.)

I hope this helps. I can vouch for both of them! :)
