The SpokenWeb Research Network is pleased to invite you to attend our next in-person gathering to be held in Calgary, June 5-7, 2024. Join us for “Sounding the Futures: Listening Across Time and Space,” a Symposium and Sound Institute that brings together academics, archivists, librarians, artists, and members of diverse communities interested in literature and sound to exchange ideas, methods, art, and knowledge about modes of engaging with the sonic dimensions of literary practice. This year we will be “sounding out the futures,” with panels, workshops, and guest speakers asking how we engage with questions of futurity across—tethered to, or in resistance of—times and spaces.
