Talk: ACOUSTIC ECOLOGIES

Join us for a stimulating conversation between artists and scientists touching on issues around listening, soundscapes and ecology. How might listening help protect vulnerable species, and foster empathy between humans and the ‘more-than-human’ world? How might plants and green infrastructure improve air quality as we co-exist in urban spaces?

Our invited guests will each speak about their area of research, followed by an opportunity to ask questions and continue the conversation.
