*With apologies for cross-postings*
Dear Musicology-all,
I am writing to let list members know about a recently started project on the sounds of Tehran: https://www.sonictehran.com/
I am keen to hear from anyone who would be interested in sharing their sonic experiences of Tehran (via discussion or questionnaire). I am also inviting guest contributions to the blog in the form of short (c2,000 word) articles on some aspect of sonic Tehran (or other kinds of contribution such as poetry inspired by Tehran). Contributions will include author biographies and links to current profiles and publications. Other ways of getting involved in the project are listed here: https://www.sonictehran.com/contact
We are currently building a sound map for uploading short audio or video examples; again, I would be very interested in receiving any such clips from list members.
I would also appreciate if list members could spread the word to anyone who may be interested.
Research Assistant Roles
The project is currently recruiting a number of Research Assistants whose roles will include one or more of the following:
- conducting interviews (online); transcribing and translating into English
- on-locating recording in Tehran
- soliciting and collating sound diaries, sonic postcards and sound maps relating to Tehran
Research Assistants should be postgraduate or postdoctoral researchers who are fluent in Persian, with experience of working on Iranian music and/or sound, and who are either based in, regularly travel to, or have recent experience of living in Tehran.
The role will involve around 40 hours of work and will be compensated via a fixed fee.
Applicants for these roles should send a brief CV and a covering statement outlining relevant experiences, to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 31st March 2021.
Many thanks,
Laudan.
