#POSTPONED# Sound Affects

This final workshop as part of the AHRCfunded network ‘Soundscapes in the Early Modern World’ builds upon our exploration of the sites, spaces and archives of sound to explore how people act on sound and sound on people. We will bring together early career and established interdisciplinary scholars who work on sound studies beyond the early modern period, and consider the evidence we have regarding the ways individuals responded to sounds. We will ask how sounds connect to sensory experience, emotion, the body, race, gender and disability. The workshop will also explore how we profit from practice-led approaches such as musical performances and digital reconstruction.

If you would like to contribute to our discussions, please email a short expression of interest, including a very brief outline of your current research (100-200 words) to Emilie Murphy, emilie.murphy@york.ac.uk by Friday 28 February 2020. Attendance at the workshop is free, but places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. We also have a limited number of bursaries for doctoral students and early career scholars without access to institutional funding up to the value of £100 to cover travel and accommodation. Please indicate in your email whether you would like to be considered for a bursary.
