Holger Schulze is a full Professor in Musicology at the University of Copenhagen and Principal Investigator at the Sound Studies Lab. He co-edits the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Sound Studies and founded the Sound Studies book series. His research explores sonic anthropology through urban soundscapes, digital media, and everyday listening practices.
