Led by Principle Investigator (PI) Prof. Salomé Voegelin and Co-Investigator (CoI) Dr. Werner Friedrichs.</p><p dir="ltr">Sounding Knowledge Network aims to conceptualise and establish Sonic Pedagogy to address the underrepresentation of sound within education and to contribute to teaching and learning through sensory and embodied experiences.</p><p dir="ltr">Sounding Knowledge responds to the visuo-centrism of conventional educational methods and the resulting lack of participative and embodied learning opportunities. It does so by investigating the potential of a Sonic Pedagogy that promotes and practices embodied, sensory and tacit learning possibilities, which are able to nurture a sensational dimension in education that can engage students within the classroom as well as the complex socio-political environments we live in (Ebner, 2019).</p><p dir="ltr">The project creates an international network of specialists from the fields of Music, Sound Art and Sound Theory, Education Studies and Pedagogy, especially Civic Education, to conduct a multidisciplinary investigation of auditory teaching and learning. It is a led by Prof. Salomé Voegelin (PI) and Dr. Werner Friedrichs (CoI), with Early Career Researchers Dr. Kevin Logan and Dr. Kerstin Meißner and project coordinator Dr. Timothy Smith.</p><p dir="ltr">The network will be realised through a series of events: two online Sonic Pedagogy workshops that will explore and develop 'positionalities', comparing methods, aims and methodologies to find the problems and promises of a Sonic Pedagogy; and two in-person Aural Literacy workshops that will focus on creating and applying a pedagogic toolkit.</p><p dir="ltr">A series of podcasts from the workshops are broadcast on radio and online, the Sonic Pedagogy Toolkit is realised as a Zine-Workbook <a href="https://soundingknowledgenetwork.bandcamp.com/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">published in print and online</a>, and the insights of the network will be further shared in two peer-reviewed articles and a conference presentation.</p>
