If you are interested in attending, please RSVP using the google form. We will send a copy of the text a week before the event to those who register.
This is an STS Food For Thought event: as usual, we will pre-circulate a text which will be briefly introduced at the start of the session. The introduction will be followed by an hour or so of lively discussion about the text, so please come having read the paper in advance. Food and refreshments will be provided!
Owen Marshall is a postdoctoral scholar in Science & Technology Studies at UC Davis, with a PhD in S&TS from Cornell University. He works at the intersection of sound studies, the sociology of technology, and the anthropology of the body. His NSF-supported dissertation, Tuning In Situ: Articulations of Voice, Affect, and Artifact in the Recording Studio, is an ethnography of vocal tuning work among LA-based recording engineers. Prior to his graduate studies, he worked with Chicago Public Radio, The Consortium for Science Policy and Outcomes, and the Triple Helix Science and Society Review. He co-founded the long-running “Naked Noise” improvised music series in Ithaca, NY, and is currently organizing the Davis Infrastructural Listening Initiative’s “Music For Concrete” site-specific performance series in affiliation with the UCD ModLab.
