In recent years the field of sound and screen studies has witnessed an 
extraordinary growth. The emergence of specialist journals such as The 
Soundtrack and Music, Sound and The Moving Image, as well as a notable 
number of theorisations of sound itself, testify to a dynamic field of 
enquiry, encompassing an extraordinary diversity of practices, 
approaches, applications and theorisations. This event seeks to chart 
contemporary debates and to explore future avenues in individual 
disciplines as well as in the increasingly innovative interstices and 
overlaps between fields of enquiry.

Symposium fee (payable on the day):
£45 (£25 for students/unwaged)
Fee includes refreshments, lunch and an evening drinks reception.

If you are interested in attending please email (jeremy.strong /at/ uwl.ac.uk)
