SoundEffects

Aims & Scope

SoundEffects is a peer-reviewed online journal that explores the interdisciplinary aspects of sound and sound experience. Our journal brings together diverse theories, methodologies, and historical approaches to understand sound as both mediated and unmediated experience.

We primarily focus on disciplines within media and communication studies, aesthetics, musicology, comparative literature, cultural studies, and sociology. Additionally, we encourage contributions from fields such as psychology, health care, architecture, and sound design to push the boundaries of interdisciplinary sound studies.

As the only international journal taking a humanities-based interdisciplinary approach to sound, SoundEffects responds to the growing global interest in sound studies, providing a platform for researchers and scholars to share their knowledge and insights.
