Join the WaitlistJeffers Engelhardt will draw on the archives of his unique community-based course at Amherst College, Soundscapes of the Connecticut River Valley, in which students experience the challenges and joys of musical and sonic ethnography. His presentation, based on the online archive of 39 film and sound documentaries produced since 2009 by his students, will illustrate his teaching philosophy: the rewards of learning by doing, demonstrating how ethnomusicology is connected to the liberal arts. In presenting this trove of sounds, images, and stories, Engelhardt hopes to start a conversation with a local audience about its familiarity with some of these sounds and its encounters with new sonic communities in our region.
