Andrew Olsen
Andrew holds a PhD in Musicology. He has a wondering and wandering mind—when the wanderlust strikes, you'll find him exploring museums, galleries, and attending concerts. Andrew is keenly interested in art history, literature, opera, and other exciting topics. As an independent scholar, he delves into metamodernism as a current and developing theory-philosophy. Additionally, his work investigates the intersectional and intertextual relationships among art, literature, and music. He is a proud cat and believes where there is tea (or coffee), there is hope. He likes to keep his hands busy with knitting and Tunisian crochet in his free time. Aside from his computer, his favorite writing instruments are a well-balanced pencil or a quality fountain pen to write with in his numerous notebooks.
