Thesis supervisor: Owen Chapman
Guillaume Jabbour centers his practice around sound, research-creation and community engagement. He recently completed a master’s degree in Media Studies and is now pursuing a PhD in Communication Studies. He is a recipient of scholarships from SSHRC and the Trudeau Foundation.
Jabbour’s research-creation doctoral project explores the lived experience of Palestinians, wherever they may be, through soundwalking, field recording, and collaborative soundscape composition. As a musician and community sound artist, he regularly facilitates workshops with people of all ages, exploring the beauty and power of sound.
He is a student affiliate at the Center for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP) and is a member of the Resisting Colonisations collective.
