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.

  • PUG Fall 2021 Meetings

    Posted by Chelsea Lane on September 21, 2021 at 2:48 pm

    Hi everyone! We are excited to begin another semester of biweekly PUG (Python User\’s Group) meetings, beginning on Thursday, October 7th from 3-4:30PM!

    If you have not already done so, please join our Slack space. In advance of the first meeting please also 1) install python & anaconda (click here for mac users and here for windows users), as well as work through our introductory python curriculum here if you are new to the language, both of which we will be answering questions about at our first meeting on October 7th at 3pm (Zoom link here). In the first meeting, we will also discuss what you would like to work on and explore this semester.

    Can\’t wait to meet you all!
