Indigenous Soundways: This graduate seminar engages critical ways of listening to indigeneity and analyzing indigenous soundscapes. Following historian Richard Rath's call to listen closely for the soundways (i.e., "the paths, trajectories, transformations, mediations, practices, and techniques - in short, the ways-that people employ to interpret and express their attitudes and beliefs about sound"), our seminar seeks interdisciplinary connections between sound and identities within cultural, historical, and aesthetic contexts. Through interdisciplinary scholarship in indigenous cultural studies, sound studies, history, and geography, this course critically listens to and analyzes the spatial, racial, and performative soundways of cultural identities in Indian County. This course encourages all to keep their ears attuned toward the sonic-grounded emergence of transformative political praxis through critical and creative soundscapes and sonic imaginaries of Indian Country.
