Tammy L. Anderson is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware.

"Anderson clearly has a passion for the subject matter and a keen focus on the 'decline' of rave culture which is to be commended. There is a need for in-depth considerations of post-rave club cultures as embedded in global, national, local and virtual spaces. The thoroughness of Anderson's empirical work, and her engagement with the data is useful and gives voice to young (and not so young!) people and culture."-Karenza Moore, Lancaster University
