Overview

My research focuses on the anthropology of sound. I am interested in the possibilities not only of writing about sound and studying the ways in which it is made and interpreted, but also of working with and in sound through radio programmes and audio pieces.

I have conducted ethnographic projects on sound in a variety of contexts, but have tended to focus on institutions. My book Hearing and the Hospital: Sound, Listening, Knowledge and Experience (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hearing-Hospital-Listening-Knowledge-Experience/dp/1907774246) is an ethnography of the auditory culture of a London hospital. It focuses on doctors' use of stethoscopic listening and other sound technologies in their diagnostic work, but also examines the techniques of listening used by nurses in their management of ward spaces and explores the ways in which the sounds of the hospital environment are woven into patients' experiences of hospitalisation. A further book, a cultural history of the stethoscope entitled Stethoscope: the making of a medical icon (co-authored with Anna Harris) was published in 2022 (https://www.waterstones.com/book/stethoscope/anna-harris/tom-rice/9781789146332).

Between 2018 and 2021 I was PI on the ESRC funded Transforming Social Science project 'Listening to the Zoo'. This project aimed to generate detailed knowledge about how sounds are woven into the experience of zoos for visitors, staff, people who live near zoos and for zoo animals themselves. It set out to explore how listening, and attending to different kinds and qualities of sound, can promote new forms of awareness of human and animal behaviour in the zoo context. As part of the project I made an experimental listening tour of an imaginary zoo. You can access it here: https://soundcloud.com/user-102738989/listening-to-the-zoo-audio-guide. I have also written on prison sound and produced a number of pieces on core concepts in sound studies.

In addition to sound and auditory culture, my academic interests include human-animal interactions (especially bioacoustics), the anthropology of institutions and medical anthropology.
