Christine Rose Cooling, a PhD student in the Joint Graduate Program in Communication &amp; Culture at <strong>快播视频<\/strong>, was there\u2014not as a fan, but as a scholar, watching, listening, and feeling the energy that rippled through the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen a Canadian artist returns home, something powerful takes place,\u201d she says. \u201cArtists and audiences experience a sense of national pride and recognition that feels bigger than commercial entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Cooling, the question isn\u2019t just how these musicians perform\u2014it\u2019s how audiences respond, how the room seems to hum with a shared history, a collective memory, a connection to place and identity. She studies that \u201ccharge\u201d in the air, the unspoken bond between performer and hometown, and what it reveals about Canada itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her curiosity comes not from theory alone but from lived experience. At events like the 2023 <em>Born &amp; Raised<\/em> festival, she felt the energy move through her as she stood in the crowd, noting how music, memory, and emotion intertwined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:29.9%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image size-large img-thumbnail rounded-0\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"504\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2026\/03\/Christine-Rose-Cooling-504x630px.png\" alt=\"A photo of PhD scholar Christine Rose Cooling\" class=\"wp-image-68908\" style=\"object-fit:cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2026\/03\/Christine-Rose-Cooling-504x630px.png 504w, https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2026\/03\/Christine-Rose-Cooling-504x630px-240x300.png 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><sub>A photo of Christine Rose Cooling<\/sub><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image alignright size-full size-large img-thumbnail rounded-0\">\n<figure ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/gradstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/184\/2026\/03\/bornandraised2024-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"An outdoor concert stage at the Born and Raised music festival, with bright stage lights\" class=\"wp-image-68860\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><sub><em>Born &amp; Raised<\/em> festival<\/sub><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<p>\u201cIf we see cultural policy only as bureaucratic protectionism, we miss how real experiences of attachment and collective memory are shaped,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, Cooling\u2019s research bridges the personal and the political. Hometown concerts are not just celebrations\u2014they are shaped by Canada\u2019s cultural policies, by the pressures of a globalized music industry, and by the historical influence of American media. They are moments where audiences negotiate their own sense of \u201cCanadian-ness,\u201d where national identity is performed as much as felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>York\u2019s interdisciplinary Communication &amp; Culture program allows her to explore these moments from every angle: as economic events, as cultural rituals, and as mediated symbols. Under the guidance of Professor Anne MacLennan, Cooling connects the energy she observes in the crowd with a deeper understanding of media history and policy, showing how academic insight and human experience can inform one another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis project began from my own embodied experience in a crowd,\u201d Cooling says. \u201cI would very much like its insights to return, in some form, to those spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her work reminds us that scholarship does not have to be distant or abstract. By following music into the towns that shaped it, by listening closely to audiences and performers, Cooling illuminates the cultural pulse of Canada. Through her research, the roar of a hometown crowd becomes more than applause\u2014it becomes a story about memory, identity, and the enduring power of shared experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the lights dimmed over St. Catharines and the first chords filled the air, the crowd swayed in unison.
