The Listening Project
The Listening Project is a program of collaboration that will generate sustained discussion and publication around the practices, politics and ethics of the cultural literacy of 'listening'. The project develops a new area of study through an innovative model of networking, bringing together researchers across a range of disciplines as well as media and cultural producers. The program will examine the neglected dynamics of 'listening', an emerging focus in Media Studies and citizens' media interventions. Habitual critiques of representation and the politics of 'speaking' (or giving voice to the voiceless) are giving way to investigation of more active possibilities for social inclusion and change based on recognition, dialogic engagement and acceptance.
Project Convenors: Tanja Dreher, Justine Lloyd and Penny O'Donnell
The workshops have been sponsored by the ARC Cutural Research Network and the Transforming Cultures Research Centre.
