[Dancecult-l] Dancecult-l Digest, Vol 41, Issue 6

[Katrina Loughrey]

Hi,

I am a Masters (Communications) student from Melbourne, Australia. I am
currently completing my research project on the media's representation of
the Victorian Dance Music scene, with a focus on ecstasy use (due to be
completed on June 2009).

I am interested in pursuing further postgraduate study overseas in research
on the dance music scene and would like to know which universities in the UK
and EU offer such opportunities.

I've been an avid follower of this online mailing group and have found it to
be a great source of information. Thanks to everyone who uses it!

I'd appreciate any advice so look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you,
Katrina Loughrey
