Other Interests and Goals
As an addendum to Ryan's academic endeavors, he is also interested in expanding Wikipedia's content on Gospel Convention or Southern Gospel style music, a religious form of music that has it origins in the work of Joseph Funk, A.J. Showalter, Stamps-Baxter Music Company, James D. Vaughan, and Ben Speer. This kind of religious music is also related to the Sacred Harp Music tradition, which is practiced by congregations throughout the world. While Ryan Mix himself is a gospel convention and Sacred Harp songwriter, developing both of these styles' history and modern status is his primary goal for including this additional interest on Wikipedia.
