This course delves into the multifaceted dimensions of sound and listening, weaving together phenomenological, cognitive, and political perspectives. Through readings, discussions, and creative projects, students will explore how sound shapes perception, attention, and social interactions, ultimately engaging with the possibilities for acoustic justice and transformative listening practices. Through phenomenological, pragmatist, and critical theoretical lenses, students will investigate how listening shapes our experience of the world, our relationships with others (human and non-human), and our engagement with power, technology, and art.
