This project was inspired by own research about Zamrock, where I noticed a lack of comprehensive, accessible information on a website about Zamrock in comparison to US and UK rock. This website was created in tandem with my senior International Studies honors thesis. The final portion of my thesis is a critique of streaming platforms, playlist culture, and vinyl collection which at times decontextualizes certain music and its significance, such as Zamrock and its postcolonial, urban context in Zambia. I consider this a work in progress, as I am not an expert on the topic, but a collection of my findings thus far.

I worked with Cheryl Cape and Mary Mahoney to embed the timeline onto the story map.
