Foreword

Harley Ferris asks Sonic Abundance listeners to listen with their whole selves and to pay attention to how they listen, situating the podcast as a response to Cynthia Selfe’s 2009 article “The Movement of Air.” Sonic Abundance represents a range of approaches to sound studies within Rhetoric and Composition, organized into three parts: how to do the work of soundwriting (episodes 1-3); case studies showing the work in action (episodes 4-7), and reflecting back on the work (episode 8).
