<\/a><\/p>\n\u201c<\/span>This April forum, Acts of Sonic Intervention<\/strong><\/a>, explores what we over here at Sounding Out!<\/em> are calling \u201cSound Studies 2.0\u2033\u2013the movement of the field beyond the initial excitement for and indexing of sound toward new applications and challenges to the status quo.<\/p>\n Two years ago at the first meeting of the European Sound Studies Association, I was inspired by the work of scholar and sound artist Linda O\u2019Keeffe and her compelling application of the theories and methodologies of sound studies to immediate community issues. In what would later become a post for SO!<\/em>, \u201c(Sound)Walking Through Smithfield Square in Dublin<\/a>,\u201d O\u2019Keeffe discussed her Smithfield Square project and how she taught local Dublin high school students field recording methodologies and then tasked them with documenting how they heard the space of the recently \u201crefurbished\u201d square and the displacement of their lives within it. For me, O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s ideas were electrifying, and I worked to enact a public praxis of my own via ReSounding Binghamton<\/a> and the Binghamton Historical Soundwalk Project<\/a>\u2026 Today, Linda O\u2019Keeffe<\/a> <\/strong>catches us up with her newest public project, a pilot workshop with older people at the U3A (University of the Third Age) centre in Foyle, Derry, \u201cgrounded in an examination of the digital divide, social inclusion and the formation of artists collectives.\u201d<\/p>\n
