Robert will present a paper at the Sound + Environment Symposium at Newcastle University.
4th – 6th September 2025
The Sound + Environment Research Group at Newcastle University will be hosting a broad range of international scholars and practitioners for the inaugural symposium 4th – 6th September 2025. The theme of the symposium aligns with the aims of the Sound + Environment Research Group, set-up to bring together researchers working across arts and sciences to explore the ways that sound can deepen our understanding of environments and the communities inhabiting them. For example, recent developments in the field of ecoacoustics are proving fruitful in assessing ecosystem change. Sound and listening are also increasingly used to monitor built structures and to inform urban and rural landscape design. We can use sound for scientific and artistic exploration, to inform and expand our knowledge of environments and our relationships to the world around us. Sound can inform a range of innovative interventions and solutions to problems. Through exploring scientific and artistic approaches together, we engage with sound and listening to create complementary ways of investigating, understanding, and taking action.
