Aurality Hub First meeting, 3/8
The Tufts community is enthusiastically invited to the first meeting of The Aurality Hub, on Friday, March 8 - 1:15pm @ Barnum LL26 — lead by guest Julie Shapiro. Light refreshments will be served at the start of the event.
"Career listener, audio executive, thinker, innovator, encourager, champion of story + sound” Julie Shapiro is the founder of Audio Flux, a space for audio production and storytelling. She was Executive Producer of PRX's Radiotopia, where she co-founded and produced numerous award-winning podcasts. In 2000 she co-founded the Third Coast Audio Festival, where, as artistic director, she shaped the Festival's creative trajectory and nurtured a robust international listening culture.
The Aurality Hub is a new series of faculty events — to meet and discuss, research and experiment with all that purports to the aural. The Aurality Hub aims to reposition the media of academic inquiry and disciplinary hierarchies by way of the aural register — sound, music, noise, silence; orality, soundscape; listening, hearing; acoustics, vibrational practices; performance, radio, podcasting, dubbing; spatial sound, Ambisonics, Dolby, machine listening, more.
RSVP is requested. To RSVP or for questions, contact Alessandra Campana, Alessandra.Campana@tufts.edu and Ricardo Giancconi riccardo.giacconi@tufts.edu.
