A community focused research project with a strong emphasis on understanding how children's interactions with their cities can yield insights into sustainable urban development and responsiveness to ecological challenges.
PAST PROJECTS
-
In this project, I collaborated with an interdisciplinary team to investigate the potential for sustainability in children's playgrounds.
In my role as a sound artist on the team, I engaged in listening to the sounds from the children's play area and created a sonic interactive map of the playground.
The map is available in the project's digital catalogue.

As a graduate research assistant, I was involved in collecting and analyzing data alongside other co-researchers. In this research environment, which included children and educators, I explored a sonic ecological approach to rethinking audio data from our research practices. This interest emerged as a response to the predominance of visual artifacts in our collaborative work and has since ignited a deep passion for exploring alternative sensory interpretations of early childhood experiences within the context of climate action discourse. Inspired by posthuman and new-materialist theories, I continue to use ecological sound art as a methodological approach in educational research contexts.
