As a pracademic in media anthropology, I seek to bridge the gap between theory and practice in understanding how media, sound, and culture intersect in everyday life. My research examines the anthropological dimensions of sound—how people use, interpret, and experience sound as a medium of communication, identity, and belonging. I explore how auditory practices are embedded within social rituals, digital environments, and transnational networks, tracing the ways media technologies transform cultural expression and sensory experience. Through an interdisciplinary lens that combines anthropology, media studies, ethnomusicology, and digital humanities, my work contributes to a deeper understanding of how sound mediates social relations and cultural meaning in a rapidly evolving media landscape.
