PhD - Resounding Gender: Sound in Gendered Human-Nonhuman Entanglements

This PhD research is conducted at the Open University (Humanities) in collaboration with Maastricht University and NWO funded. The project studies how gender is formed through sound in human-nonhuman entanglements, such as in the tapping of high heels and growling of motorbike engines. By means of (auto)ethnographic, semiotic, and artistic methodological approaches, this research studies a diversity of objects that, in contact with the human body, have a significant presence of gendered sound. The project examines how gender exclusion and inclusion occur in the realm of sound, which is necessary for a critical understanding of gender as a complex power mechanism.
