Bio: Steven Feld is an anthropologist, filmmaker, musician, and sound artist. He is a Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fé, and Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at the University of New Mexico. Feld's academic research principally concerns the anthropology of sound, a term he coined in 1972 to extend the anthropology of music and language into a more critical sensory and aesthetic focus on voice and poetics, all-species sound relations, media and technologies, and environmental and ecological acoustics.
