Sounding Off: An Investigation of Visible Street Homelessness (sound-walk output)

Irving, Adele; Moss, Oliver

Abstract

‘Sounding Off: An Investigation of Visible Street Homelessness in Newcastle-upon-Tyne’ is an interactive sound-walk curated by researchers from Northumbria University for the Economic and Social Research Council’s Festival of Social Science (2015).

On the linked website, you will find details of the locations of eight Quick Response (QR) codes – each one based in an area of the city identified as having material and symbolic significance to homeless people.

Each QR code serves as a gateway to the wide range of sound, image and text resources contained here. Together, these offer important insights into the experiential aspects of street homelessness as well as the key policy and service issues raised.

The aim of the sound-walk is to promote a more nuanced public understanding and discussion of visible street homelessness.
