Julie Beth Napolin

Julie Beth Napolin studies the history and theory of sound and its intersections with the novel, film, art, performance, psychoanalysis, gender, and race, asking what practices of listening can tell us about the politics of memory and form. She is the co-Editor of the William Faulkner Journal, a member of the editorial board of Sound Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, and the former President of the New School chapter of the American Association of University Professors. She received her PhD in Rhetoric from UC Berkeley.
