The Hearing Place: Hearing the Unheard for Place Dialogue

Abstract: How do we hear the unheard? What principles guide the way we listen? How do we engage texts, speakers, and sounds in ways that open space to register overlooked and unexpected voices? To address these questions, the Hearing Place Studiolab is developing an interdisciplinary theoretical articulation of hearing place through a dialogue between research collaboration and campus/community-facing sound performances and installations. Participants will organize a series of workshops, courses, and programming that will engage scholars and students from MU and beyond to address this question.
