He has written theses on the reception of British recruitment propaganda posters during the First World War and on the role of embodiment in how music audiences actively determine their listening experiences.

During his spare time, Mr. Martin likes to follow literature from subjects related to his educational background, including popular music scholarship, social and cultural theory, modern history, and religious analysis. He also enjoys listening to music from several different genres, walking, playing video games, watching documentaries, and spending too much money at Trader Joe's.
