The Sonic Cultures Research Group explores sonic phenomena from a variety of perspectives. It fosters interdisciplinary research, and its members research in disciplines such as anthropology, music, architecture, design, art, or sociology both at Manchester Met and the University of Manchester.

We meet every second Wednesday of the month (4-5.30pm) to discuss approaches, methods, ideas, theories and interpretations of texts, and the discussion is led by a speaker. For this year, the confirmed speakers are:

• 11 October: Rupert Cox (Anthropology) – UoM/Martin Harris Centre/G16
