Diana Chester

About

Dr. Diana Chester is a scholar and artist from New York whose work produces critically influential studies, methods, and outputs that use sound to traverse disciplinary boundaries using feminist, de-colonial, and post-anthropocentric approaches to thinking and making. Chester draws from sound studies, archival studies, and ethnography and relies on field recording and composition to explore sound in diverse contexts by putting research and practice in direct conversation—deepening the capacities of both. Chester holds a lecturer role in Media and Communications at the University of Sydney, is editor of Interference Journal, and on the board of the World Listening Project.
