Sound Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the relationship of sound - including nature sounds, speech, and popular music - to human experience. Sounding Out! is a blog dedicated to engaging both academics and the general public with this growing field. Edited by Jennifer Stoever-Ackerman, a professor of English at Binghamton University, the blog features regular contributions by scholars of English, Music, Communications, Design, and Philosophy. Fittingly, the blog features both peer-edited articles as well as regular podcasts. Recent contributions include an examination of sound art in Brazil by sound artist and music scholar Rui Chaves; a discussion of the Old English noun "crim" by English scholar Jordan Zweck ("crim" appears in the poem "Exodus" and, according to Zweck, connotes an "indistinguishable, non-linguistic hum of a crowd, rather than the meaningful utterance of an individual"); and an analysis by ethnomusicologist Benjamin Tausig of how popular music critics have (mis)interpreted Prince's music and persona. Sounding Out! is frequently updated, and visitors can search archived posts by a number of topics.
