We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Allie Martin of Dartmouth back to Bloomington as a visting scholar, from Oct. 1st-3rd. Allie is an IU (and IDAH) alumna and ethnomusicologist who founded and leads the Black Sound Lab at Dartmouth. Her research has investigated the character of Black soundscapes, gentrification, and the criminalization of Black sound. She will be returning to campus from Oct. 1st-3rd, to share with us some of her recent work on theorizing a critical practice of sampling Black archival sound. Allie will give a talk about her recent work on theorizing a critical practice of sampling Black archival sound in Hazelbaker Hall at Wells Library at 2:45 PM on Oct. 2nd. Graduate students are welcomed to join Allie for coffee and conversation at the Institute house (624 E 3rd St.) at 10:30 AM the same day, to benefit from her insights as an early career scholar whose research practice centers digital humanities methodology. In collaboration with the department of folklore & ethnomusicology, Allie will be leading a workshop for all interested in sound studies at 3:30 PM on Friday, Oct. 3rd, in COB Room 272.
