This webinar was planned to expand understandings of how sound in its many forms can provide novel sites for interdisciplinary analysis of sports and the moving body while harnessing creative methods for multimedia knowledge sharing and social activism. The webinar consisted of presentations from invited speakers discussing their explorations into sound and sport across research, media, and artistic domains. Presenters were also asked questions about their experiences working within the sport/sound nexus and reflect on the scholarly and creative possibilities generated by the convergence of sounds and sports.
This first session is geared toward anyone interested in learning from these presentations including those new to the topic and those actively working with sound as a sociocultural phenomenon.
