At the end of April, a team of five UBCO researchers from the AMP Lab travelled to Dublin, Ireland to present work at the TEXT\/SOUND\/PERFORMANCE: Making in Canadian Space<\/a> conference (April 25-27, 2019) held at University College Dublin and the National Library of Ireland. Mathieu Aubin (PhD candidate), Megan Butchart (Honours English candidate), Dr. Emily Murphy (Assistant Professor, Digital Humanities), Dr. Karis Shearer (Associate Professor, English), and Amy Thiessen (Honours English candidate) all presented new research. The event featured 125 Canadian and Indigenous poets, performance artists, and literary critics alongside over 75 Irish writers through the newly formed Associated Writers Program Ireland, and was reported in an article<\/a> in the Irish Times.<\/p>\n

Karis Shearer (in collaboration with Deanna Fong, who participated remotely through pre-recorded audio segments) presented “‘But you can’t put that in a book’: Feminist Close Listening in the SoundBox Collection” sharing the panel with Mathieu Aubin who spoke about “Writing Between the ‘Slippery Lines’: Lesbian-Feminist Kinship in Tessera<\/em>.” Together their panel focused on “Mapping Feminist Relations and Labour across Media in Contemporary Canadian Literature.”<\/p>\n

In collaboration with SpokenWeb Calgary team members Dr. Jason Wiens and Leah van Dyk (MA English candidate), the SpokenWeb UBCO team consisting of Dr. Karis Shearer, Megan Butchart (Honours English), and Amy Thiessen (Honours English) put together a panel on “Sound Pedagogies.” Both teams brought teacher and student perspectives to bear on the digital sound archive in the classroom and discussed a variety of assignments that invited critical examination of sound, interface design, user experience, recording practices, and archives.<\/p>\n
