Learning Through Noise

Peter J. Woods is an assistant professor in learning sciences at the University of Nottingham. Through his research, he explores what and how people learn through creative production in both formal and informal learning settings. In particular, he investigates how cultural contexts (ranging from noise music scenes to math classrooms) and situated technologies both produce and restrict different types of curricula, pedagogies, and knowledge. Previous publications on noise music can be found in Culture, Theory, and Critique; Teachers College Record; Critical Studies in Improvisation and more. He also teaches numerous courses on learning theory and educational technology.
