Summary:Although other disciplines have explored sound as more than oral language, music, or noise, educational scholarship exploring everyday soundscapes still has room to grow. In this article, a team of transdisciplinary scholars from education, writing and rhetoric, and ethnomusicology explore new possibilities for sound in research and teaching by examining a cross-course assignment grounded in the sonic experiences of a residential, living-learning college community. Through examining student-produced compositions, we introduce a number of relevant insights into the relationships between space, community, and a pedagogy of aurality.
