* The book will include high quality contributions from practitioners and researchers that consider the ethics and aesthetics of the work, investigating the role of sound in community building, wellbeing, education, and social or environmental justice. * Would be recommended reading in leading applied and socially engaged theatre courses, in sound studies and sonic art courses and in media and communication courses. * The closest competitors are more a broad survey of sound art while this book looks to the future, building possibilities, and imagining what might be through the creative acts of inquiry and sound.
