Our final colloquium of year (to continue on Weds 17 January 2023!) is a presentation from the Sounds of Nature group on their AHRC/DFG-funded project “Sounds of Nature: Soundscapes and Environmental Awareness, 1750-1950.

The Sound of Nature is a joint initiative based at Cardiff University's English Department and the Department of Philosophy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. We have the privilege of hearing them speak—for the first time, jointly—on their research so far.

Everyone is very welcome. Please get in touch with gavin.williams@kcl.ac.uk for more information.
