SUMMARY:Symposium on Sound and Hate
DESCRIPTION:This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate\, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate\, resist\, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields\, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences\, challenges\, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address\, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria\,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein\, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present\, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate\, violence\, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson\, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora\, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).
