Ep. 5 Highlights of the Urban Sound Symposium 2021

This week marked the second Urban Sound Symposium, held virtually! Featuring keynotes with 30 speakers, panel discussions, and 27 posters, the Symposium brought together some of the leading researchers in urban sound and soundscape. In today's bonus episode, Andrew and Francesco discuss their personal favourite bits from the week as well as talking, once again, with Edda Bild about the extended discussion around representation, inclusiveness, and fairness in urban sound research that was sparked at the Symposium.

We recorded this very quickly right after the final day and obviously can't cover everything - if you think we missed something important be sure to let us know on Twitter @JustNoisePod
