Dr. Rebecca Draisey-Collishaw

Rebecca Draisey-Collishaw was part of the Rise, Shine, Sing! team during the 2019-2020 academic year. She completed her PhD in ethnomusicology at Memorial University in 2017. Rebecca currently holds a SSHRC Post-doctoral Fellowship at the Dan School of Drama and Music at Queen’s University.
