WHAT DOES THE SOUND ENVIRONMENT CENTRE DO?

På svenska

The Sound Environment Centre at Lund University is an interdisciplinary centre focused on initiating, coordinating and stimulating interdisciplinary research on sound and sound environments and how people and society are impacted by these.

The Sound Environment Centre at Lund University was established in March 2005. The centre is the first of its kind, both nationally and internationally. It is tasked with studying sound as a phenomenon, sound worlds and sound environments from a multi- and interdisciplinary perspective. It is a Lund University-wide body for education and research as well as external engagement in general for matters concerning sound and sound environments.

The Sound Environment Centre is an interdisciplinary centre focused on initiating, coordinating and stimulating interdisciplinary research on sound and sound environment. The centre is located at the Department of Arts and Cultural Sciences at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology but has a broad disciplinary scope which covers, for example:

  • How people and society are affected by sound

  • The role of sound in cultural contexts from contemporary and historical perspectives (e.g. in rituals, media, art and music)

  • How auditory perspectives are involved in the planning of indoor and outdoor public spaces

  • Development of new technology that can stimulate mediation through sound
