Janet Borgerson

I penned record reviews for my high school newspaper, and have been publishing at intersections of philosophy, culture, and music for over twenty-five years. After my dad brought home copies of The Monkees LPs, and then The Beatles, Rubber Soul, I've never been without records. As a kid, I'd arrive at a new place and set up my own small Panasonic stereo system with separate speakers. It felt like a personal accomplishment and an affirmation of my identity. Now, having LPs from so many different eras and places and genres reminds me that there's a big world out there. I have degrees in Philosophy from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and University of Wisconsin-Madison, and am a Senior Wicklander Fellow at DePaul University. I'm working on two new books.
