How are sports shaped by sounds?
Sound, Sport, and the Digital is a project dedicated to investigating the many answers to this question with a primary focus on
1) How sound can help us understand sport as a sociocultural phenomenon and inform challenges to dominant knowledges and social inequalities;
2) How digital methods and technologies can facilitate critical, interdisciplinary examinations of the sport/sound nexus.
Welcome to the website for Sound, Sport, and the Digital
Here you can learn more about the project and check out its online events, explore a library of relevant resources, and visit a collaborative database of sport-related audio in the Sports Sounds Archive (coming soon!).
