The Drawing Together community gathered on Zoom October 26, 2025. Our host was Ebru Ustundag. <\/strong>Ebru is a critical feminist geographer who examines the intersections of health care and social justice. She is an Associate Professor of Geography at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, and a member of the graduate faculty in the interdisciplinary Social Justice and Equity Studies MA program. Ebru co-chairs the Graphic Medicine International Collective Board and serves as a co-editor of the journal ACME: International Journal of Critical Geographies.<\/p>\n Our Drawing Together topic was acoustic geographies<\/strong>. Per Ebru,<\/p>\n \u201cAcoustic geographies refer to the study of sound and listening as spatial, social, and political phenomena \u2014 how sound shapes our experiences of place, and how places, in turn, shape what and how we hear. Acoustic epistemologies can also facilitate our understanding of how sound can be a site of resistance, but also control and domination. This month\u2019s acoustic landscapes exercise encourages us to listen to the world as a way of understanding and representing it\u2014expanding our sense of geography beyond what we see, towards what we hear, feel, and sense with ourselves and other beings, including non-human animals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Introduction and warmup exercise:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.graphicmedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Screenshot_20251020-103030-e1763910875108-1170x1031.png\")
