(Re)sounding pedagogy: a themed issue on critical communication pedagogies of/for/in sound

Abstract

In this Introduction, the Guest Editors situate this themed issue on (Re)Sounding Pedagogy within ongoing communication research interrogating voice, argumentation, race, and power. We also offer a description of how we work to make sense of some of the relationships among sound, pedagogy, and social contexts. We encourage you to engage playfully with our work and with the scholarly pieces, oral/aural and written, included in this issue. We provide an audio clip of recorded sounds that we developed for this Introduction in the spirit of playful engagement, and we outline the artistic constraints we adopted in developing this clip. We also briefly frame the scholarly pieces that constitute this issue, which, notably, is the first issue of a National Communication Association journal to feature audio works.
