Booklaunch for Sound and Detention:Towards Critical Listening, Sonic Citizenship and Social Justice

Welcome to the launch of the groundbreaking interdisciplinary book Sound and Detention: Towards Critical Listening, Sonic Citizenship and Social Justice, hosted by Scene HumSam, University of Oslo Library on 19 January 2026. The book explores soundscapes in places and systems of imprisonment in order to better understand experiences of imprisonment, and to imagine alternatives to the carceral state. This book launch features input from experts in criminology, musicology, sound studies and community development, as well as an opportunity to tune in to some of the audio material that accompanies this innovative volume.
