Sound, Ritual, and Sensorium in Historic Architecture

Join us for a fascinating conversation between Peter McMurray, Professor of Ethnomusicology at University of Cambridge, and Bissera Pentcheva, Professor of Art History at Stanford University, as we discuss the significance of sound in the Hagia Sophia.

In recent years sensory studies have emerged as a lens of inquiry across academic disciplines presenting exciting insights for historians and ethnographers.

In this salon talk we will explore the works of our special guest speakers and explore how sensory studies can present new potentials in understanding the historical and contemporary.
