College student's navigation of race and place in Higher Education
Flint, M. (2024). “You don’t want to sound like you’re from Alabama”: Infrasounds of place and race in student narratives of the South. Journal of Curriculum Theorizing. Special Issue: Sound Trauma
Using sounded methodologies, this paper attunes to the sonic and discursive slippages between how the South and Alabama are invoked in college student narratives of navigating the socio-historical context of race on a University campus. Listening and composing with sound offers a methodology for mapping the discursive, intellectual, and material geographies that reify and perpetuate the histories and ongoing traumas of white supremacy and racialization in higher education curriculum spaces, at the same time as it offers entry points for refusing, re-negotiating, and resisting these legacies.
