Rachel Skaggs (Ohio State University) is a sociologist of culture who studies creative professions. In this episode, we discuss her participant observation research on country music songwriting. She deserves the role that accepting failure, collaboration, and learning to deal with gatekeepers shape careers.

Rachel Skaggs is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Ohio State University. She recently published "Socializing Rejection and Failure in Artistic Occupational Communities” in Work and Occupations, and will soon publish "Harmonizing Small Group Cohesion and Status in Creative Collaborations: How Songwriters Facilitate and Manipulate the Co-Writing Process." in Social Psychology Quarterly.
