Today we air the next episode of Flux, a FreshEd series where graduate students turn their research interests into narrative based podcasts. In this episode, Peter Browning explores the power of the Soundosphere. His meta-engagement highlights the importance of sound in creating immersive experiences, the emotional and embodied aspects of ethnographic research, and the political and social implications of podcasting.
Peter Browning recently graduated with his PhD from the Institute of Education at the University College London, where he is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies.
