Lauren Stewart is a PhD candidate at Monash University and a recipient of the Monash Graduate Excellence Scholarship (MGES). Her doctoral research takes a holistic approach to the study of songwriting, exploring the technical, intrapersonal, and interpersonal factors that can enable or inhibit early-career songwriters’ development. She completed her Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music degrees at Monash University in 2015, specializing in Popular Voice Studies at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music. This was followed by a Bachelor of Music (Honors) degree, which sparked her research interests in popular music, songwriting, and the creative process. Outside of her research pursuits, Lauren works as a singing teacher, a teaching associate, and a vocalist with a variety of bands and ensembles, including the Australian Army Band Corps (Melbourne). This year, she also worked as a music mentor for the ADF Arts for Recovery, Resilience, Teamwork and Skills (ADF ARRTS) program in Canberra.
