Melissa Vincent is a music journalist and doctoral candidate in Data, Networks, and Society in the Media and Communications Department at the London School of Economics. She was an inaugural research fellow at the Collaboratory for Black Poiesis at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information and received the 2024 Hilda Wilson Fellowship in Technology, Information, and Culture. She is currently a member of LSE’s MateriLab, where she explores the infrastructural underpinnings of AI systems. Her work broadly grapples with justice-oriented inquiries of intimacy, relationality, and community formation as it relates to music, technology, and culture.
She was nominated for a Digital Publishing Award for Best Science and Technology Storytelling for her essay, Ethical AI Has Not Solved Tech’s Problem with Racism, and served as a researcher on the Peabody Award–winning documentary Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story. She is a frequent on-air music correspondent for CBC’s The National, a member of the Toronto Music Advisory Committee, and the former Polaris Music Prize jury foreperson.
