1. Emily Thompson

        Bio
        Emily Thompson, Professor of History at Princeton University, studies technology in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America. Her research explores the cultural history of sound, music, noise and listening, and focuses on how these phenomena and activities intersect with technologies like the phonograph, motion pictures and architecture. Her book, The Soundscape of Modernity: Architectural Acoustics and the Culture of Listening in America, 1900–1933 (The MIT Press, 2002) received numerous awards, and in 2005 she was named a MacArthur Fellow. Her current project examines the transition from silent to sound motion pictures in the American film industry.
