The Sounds of Science: a practice-based PhD exploring the use, purpose and potential of music in science centres

在这个以实践为基础的博士学位中，候选人将探索使用声音在科学中心内创造有效的学习环境。在一个在作曲、音乐心理学、公众参与和科学教育方面具有专业知识的跨学科团队的指导下，学生将开始全面的文献审查，然后在邓迪科学中心(DSC)创作和评估三个长期使用的大型音响装置的影响。该项目将实现为DSC提供独特合适的声音环境的具体目标，同时也有助于就科学教育背景下有效的声音设计进行更广泛的对话。

In this practise-based PhD, the candidate will explore the use of sound in creating effective learning environments within a science centre. Supervised by an interdisciplinary team with expertise in composition, music psychology, public engagement, and science education, the student will embark on a thorough literature review before creating and evaluating the impact of three large-scale sound installations for long-term use at the Dundee Science Centre (DSC). This project will meet the concrete goal of providing a uniquely suitable sonic environment for the DSC, while also contributing to wider conversations about effective sound design in science education contexts.
