Music, Sound, and Culture

The research in this area deals with audio cultures and the dynamics through which sounds and sonic structures are articulated with and afford meanings or become agents in material processes. We study the social, economic, and political outcomes of these processes and we examine various forms of contemporary and historical engagement with music/sound while also fostering an understanding of the ways specific contexts have shaped and constrained the perceptions, actions, thoughts, and feelings that constitute that engagement.
