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.

    Hi all,

    I’m writing to share a grant opportunity for current PhD students at The Graduate Center, CUNY, to provide up to $1000 to $6000 of funding for: training or travel related to developing a digital skill, digital pedagogy, or theoretical knowledge about a digital topic (e.g. a course at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute); or to start or further implement a digital research project or a research project that incorporates digital methods — see more info below.

    Provost’s Digital Innovation Grants 2018-2019

    Deadline: 5:00 PM on Monday, November 19, 2018

    The Provost’s Digital Innovation Grants, a GC Digital Initiatives Program supported by the Provost’s Office, provide financial support to doctoral students at the CUNY Graduate Center as they design and develop digital scholarship that makes a clear contribution to the GC’s research, teaching, and service mission. Since 2012, the Provost’s Digital Innovation Grants have supported a range of inventive projects across the disciplines, including: an online, open-access, crowdsourced database of mentor relationships within the field of writing studies; an app to support street medics and promote health and safety among activist communities; and a computational analysis of Cold War diplomatic history. This year, three types of grant opportunities are available.

    Training Grants, Start-Up Grants, and Implementation Grants support individual Ph.D. students through travel, training, and project support. Award recipients will be expected to have participated in all activities for Training Grants, and to have completed all work on projects for Start-Up and Implementation Grants by Summer 2019.

    Applications are due on by 5 PM on Monday, November 19, 2018. All applicants must be current Ph.D. students in good standing.

    Find the above and additional information about each grant and how to apply here.
