Journal overview

Sound Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is an international, peer reviewed and inter-disciplinary journal in sound studies, providing a unique forum for the development of the subject within a range of disciplines such as history, sociology, media, comparative literature, cultural studies, black studies, indigenous studies, ethnomusicology, historical musicology, film studies, anthropology, geography, philosophy, urban studies, architecture, arts and performance studies.
