Matilde Meireles will join Rishika Mukhopadhyay and Elona M Hoover for the next Qualitative Expertise at Southampton seminar series. The theme of this session is Sound as a method. The seminar will take place on Zoom.

Matilde will introduce the collaborative methodologies and interdisciplinary research behind the media-rich online platform Constellations: Experiments in Multi-Media Urban Ethnography. The project is a result of an ethnographic study centred on sonic trajectories in and out of Brixton, an area of London marked by conflicting urban social processes. The people-centred qualitative study sat at the intersection of ethnography and sound arts and was developed as part of Sonorous Cities: Towards a Sonic Urbanism research project.

The QUEST (Qualitative Expertise at Southampton) seminar series showcases aspects of qualitative research as a means of building capacity and bringing qualitative researchers together. It is a joint initiative between University of Southampton, National Centre for Research Methods and South Coast DTP. The seminars run online on Zoom and take an interdisciplinary look at a method or methodological theme.
