It’s hard to avoid the noise of city life. But maybe it’s not all bad….
In this episode, we feature a brand-new podcast in town. We’re happy to partner with the Amsterdam Academy’s podcast, and bring you an interview from their launch episode: an interview with UVA sociology Professor Christian Broer on the effects of city noise on our well-being. Then we’ll share some audio clips from the AM Spooktacular Parade in Vondelpark recently, with a few hundred or so families, some of whom tried to answer the question: where are you from? It was a spooky, fun, and loud morning.
Some of the topics covered:
-
The difference culture makes in how we perceive environmental disturbances
-
And how politics plays into it
-
The clash of interests and democratic privilege
-
How language influences us
-
Is the Netherlands more annoyed as a country than others?
-
What is bio-citizenship?
-
The variety in the experience of sound
-
Trends in Political Sociology
