[Bio c. 2012]
Steve Feld is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, taking a position at the university in 2003 after appointments at Columbia University, New York University, and the University of Texas, among others. His research principally concerns the anthropology of sound and voice, which led him to spend almost twenty-five years studying the soundscapes of the Bosavi rainforest in Papua New Guinea. Steve’s writing brings together the natural and human worlds, figuring a singular world of sound that includes the hum of the rainforest and the call-and-response of bird songs together with human-produced language, poetry, and music.
More recently, Steve has spent time studying Greek Macedonia and Romani instrumentalists. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he is an active member of the city’s musical scene.
