The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded a $60,000 project grant to an individual at Durham, North Carolina to complete a book analyzing the emergence of the concept of opposite sexes in German literature, science, and philosophy around 1800. The grant was awarded under the Promotion of the Humanities Fellowships and Stipends program (CFDA 45.160), which provides support for individual scholars to produce humanities scholarship including books and articles. The 12-month grant period...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $325,441 will fund research into chemically tunable acoustic phonons in two-dimensional materials under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. Professor Kristie Koski at the University of California, Davis will study acoustic phonons, or sound waves that control material properties, in new two-dimensional materials only a few atoms thick using precise laser spectroscopy...
The National Endowment for the Arts awarded a $300,000 project grant to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to support the Sound Health Network. The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 under the Promotion of the Arts Grants to Organizations and Individuals program (CFDA 45.024) and will support the Network through June 30, 2022. The Sound Health Network will convene experts in music neuroscience, health, and wellness to identify and promote research findings on how music...
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst received a $370,488 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities to enhance the digital framework of the Tasso in Music Project. Funded under the Promotion of the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities CFDA 45.169 program, the University will expand the range of editions' formats to include Braille notation, creating one of the largest accessible musical repositories for the visually impaired. Additionally, given the analytical...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $619,951 to the University of Rochester to study how the human brain encodes and processes the perception of song. The project leverages advanced experimental methods, including functional MRI and intracranial recordings from neurosurgical patients, to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying song perception. The research aims to differentiate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $249,000 to The Regents of the University of Colorado for a project titled "EAGER: NEW APPROACHES TO INVESTIGATING ELECTROMAGNETIC ION CYCLOTRON (EMIC) WAVES IN EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE--LISTENING FOR WAVE STRUCTURE THROUGH SONIFICATION". The project aims to explore the use of sonification techniques (converting data into sound) to study EMIC waves, which are important plasma...
This $401,918 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research by the University of Rochester to investigate neural mechanisms underlying how the brain processes complex sounds like speech and music across different timescales. The key objectives are to use computational models and neural recordings from auditory cortex to understand the brain's flexible integration of sound information over...
This Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Promotion of the Humanities Division of Preservation and Access program (CFDA 45.149) provides $349,993 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to add discographic data for 12,000 recordings by the American Record Corporation (ARC) from the 1920s and 1930s to UCSB's Discography of American Historical Recordings (DAHR) database. The project will also digitize 8,500 record sides from 1922 through 1938 for...
This $595,717 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041), will support research at the University of Arizona to advance sound as a classical analogue of quantum information science. Specifically, the grant will fund the development of robust, classically entangled acoustic waves analogous to quantum bits or qubits as core components of practical quantum-like technologies...
This $406,831 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program, will support research at Wayne State University exploring sound as an analogue for quantum information science. The research aims to develop classically entangled acoustic waves analogous to quantum bits without quantum fragility through exploiting recently discovered analogies between acoustics, quantum mechanics, and...

OPEN ACCESS EDITION OF SOUNDING BODIES: ACOUSTICAL SCIENCE AND MUSICAL EROTICS IN VICTORIAN LITERATURE BY SHANNON DRAUCKER [CAN THE CONCERT HALL BE AS EROTIC AS THE BEDROOM? MANY VICTORIAN WRITERS BELIEVED SO. IN THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY, ACOUSTICAL SCIENTISTS SUCH AS HERMANN VON HELMHOLTZ AND JOHN TYNDALL DESCRIBED MUSIC AS A SET OF PHYSICAL VIBRATIONS THAT TICKLED THE EAR, EXCITED THE NERVES, AND PRECIPITATED MUSCULAR CONVULSIONS. IN TURN, WRITERS?FROM CANONICAL FIGURES SUCH AS GEORGE ELIOT AND THOMAS HARDY, TO NEW WOMEN NOVELISTS LIKE SARAH GRAND AND BERTHA THOMAS, TO ANONYMOUS AUTHORS OF UNDERGROUND PORNOGRAPHY?DEPICTED BODILY SENSATIONS AND EXPERIENCES IN UNUSUALLY EXPLICIT WAYS. THESE WRITERS USED SCENES OF MUSIC LISTENING AND PERFORMANCE TO INTERVENE IN URGENT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT GENDER AND SEXUALITY AND EXPLORE ISSUES OF AGENCY, PLEASURE, VIOLENCE, DESIRE, AND KINSHIP. SOUNDING BODIES SHOWS HOW BOTH CLASSICAL MUSIC AND VICTORIAN LITERATURE, WHILE OFTEN CONSIDERED BASTIONS OF CONSERVATISM AND REPRESSION, REPRESENTED POWERFUL SITES FOR FEMINIST AND QUEER POLITICS.]
