Friday February 7, 2pm Nick Couldry (LSE Sociology) ‘Practices of Listening: Or, What it might mean to take Voice Seriously’
Part of The Listening Workshop run by the Humanities and Arts Research Centre at Royal Holloway http://www.rhul.ac.uk/harc/home.aspx
11 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3RF.
This workshop will explore the concept of ‘voice’ and the related concept of ‘listening’ as both theoretical contributions and as the basis of empirical research in relation to everyday life in neoliberal democracies and more under other conditions of power across the world. It will examine how voice, and deprivation of voice, can be studied (for example, sociologically), by drawing on a variety of examples. Participants are encouraged who are either interested in using these concepts in their own research and/or are already conducting research that operationalizes them.
