(Re)educating the senses to multicultural communities: prospective teachers using digital media and sonic cartography to listen for culture

Sounding out synthesis: Investigating how educators in a teaching with technology course use sonic composition to remix reflection

“…Data analysis was an iterative and recursive process. Based on my previous work examining prospective teachers’ sonic cartography (see Brownell and Wargo, 2017) and given the size of the corpus, I recruited a graduate student to assist in analysis. Since the focus of the larger study was to examine and understand how graduate students enrolled in a teaching with technology course used the resources of sound to “sound out” synthesis through digital production, we took a “layered literacies” (Abrams and Russo, 2015) approach to analyzing the multimodal artifacts.…”

Hearing Knowledge into Action: Mobilizing Sound for Multicultural Imaginaries

“…Teacher education in particular has begun to explore the multivocal potentials of sound. Brownell and Wargo (2017), for instance, examined the use of sound when working with prospective teachers. Aiming to have the prospective teachers critically engage with the neighborhoods of their fieldwork locations, teachers were asked to listen for and record elements of neighborhood, culture, and community.…”

#SoundingOutMySilence: Readinga LGBTQYouth's Sonic Cartography as Multimodal (Counter)Storytelling

“…These studies, notwithstanding others that used metaphors of sound and music to enliven educational research across questions of speech (Erickson, 2004) or difference (see, e.g., Schulz, 2003), read sound solely as a representational artifact. Although some work has begun to emerge related to how sound (as both a mode and a material) and the sonic (as an affective stimulus) impacts qualitative methods for educational research (Brownell & Wargo, 2017;Gershon, 2017), few studies have examined how sound is used to amplify (in)justice in youth literacies.…”
