Wayne Weaver is an alumnus of Cambridge University and a member of Wolfson College, where he completed his PhD in historical musicology. His research focuses on sonic social cultures in late eighteenth-century Jamaica, particularly the roles played by Black women in early accounts of Jamaican street pageantry. Wayne's doctoral thesis explored the life and creative outputs of Anglo-Jamaican organist Samuel Felsted (1743-1802), examining how musicking contributed to the construction of a racialized white-Creole identity in Kingston. In addition to his research, Wayne discusses the social politics shaping access to music education in his lectures on jazz studies at King’s College London. He previously worked as a secondary school music teacher and housemaster at an international boarding school. Wayne also studied at Edinburgh University and holds an Associate Diploma from the Royal College of Organists. Outside of academia, he enjoys preparing and performing editions of historical sheet music manuscripts.
