Lauren Neefe, PhD

Executive Producer, Durham

Lauren is a soundwriter and docupoet, practicing at the intersection of sound design, writing, documentary, and improvisation. From planning documents and history exhibits to essays about museums and memorials, her superpower is weaving terms of art into a compelling style and argument. She has a Ph.D. in English literature, specializing in Romanticism and media history, and an M.A. in poetry from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins. She is an award-winning teacher, a veteran magazine and book editor, an art and music lover, an audiophile, and far more interested in descriptive than prescriptive grammar.
