Sound Studies and Methods Working Group #GCDISound

The Sound Studies and Methods working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty, and staff who are interested in sharing theories, methods, and techniques related to doing qualitative and quantitative research, teaching, storytelling, and creating art with sounds and audio files, and finding resources and support from others to do so. The group is open to scholars from all disciplines to explore ways that we as researchers and makers can study and use sound in our scholarship and pedagogy.

The Sound Studies and Methods working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

Members of the group are encouraged to share their projects, ideas, and questions concerning studies and uses of sounds and audio technologies through this group. This group was created after the success of the 2017-2018 GC Digital Initiatives Sound Series: a series of talks and workshops on topics related to sound analysis, comparison, theory, production, and recording — learn more about the past series at: cuny.is/gcdisound and on Twitter following the hashtag #GCDISound.

If you are analyzing, theorizing, producing, recording, or sharing sounds or audio as part of your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in learning more about different methods for sourcing or creating sounds for storytelling, podcasting, sensory ethnography, artistic exhibitions, or oral history projects, or managing, coding, or archiving copious audio files, we invite you to join the Sound Studies and Methods working group.

GC Digital Initiatives Offers Remote Consultations and Services

  • Posted by Lisa Marie Rhody on March 18, 2020 at 11:39 am

    Note: The following email was sent to all EOs and APOs at the Graduate Center on Monday, March 16. 

    Dear Colleagues,

    As the university transitions to remote instruction, research, and work, GC Digital Initiatives staff is available for consultations on a wide range of topics related to technology. We invite GC faculty, students, and staff to use this form to set up 30 minute appointments.

    All in-person GCDI workshops have been cancelled for the Spring semester and the GC Digital Scholarship Lab is closed until further notice. Other activities, such as working groups, are on pause as the GCDI supports collective efforts to move university activities online.

    We encourage GC faculty and students to make use of online resources posted on the GC Digital Initiatives website, including:

    • Guides and Tutorials (includes resources on Data and Databases; Design; Mapping; Programming (including Python); Project Management; Projects; Text Analysis; Web Development; Social Media and Scholarly Publication)
    • Digital Scholarship Resources
    • Working Groups (currently on pause, but will restart the week after classes resume)

    Please do not hesitate to get in touch with questions, suggestions, or concerns.

    Sincerely,

    Matt and Lisa
