On Thursday, 12 March 2026, the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB) invites you to the presentation Tuning In to sounding technologies? What is an instrument?”, delivered by lecturer Cary Campbell, from Simon Fraser University, Canada.
The event will take place beginning with 14:00 (EET) at the Rectorate of the University of Bucharest, in the Administration Council Room (90 Panduri Street, 1st Floor) and is open to the entire UB academic community: students of all levels, faculty members, and researchers interested in the announced topics.
Cary Campbell is a Lecturer in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University, Canada, and a co-director of New Curriculum Group. Cary works across the fields of educational philosophy, curriculum studies, biosemiotics and music education. Cary has two upcoming books that will be published in 2026: a book of essays and interviews entitled Education in a time of social and environmental unraveling: transdisciplinary responses to the polycrisis (Routledge, April) as well as a co-written music education book Tuning in: a new theory of sound music and instruments.
Cary’s work extends into community engagement through his role as Director of Research for The New Curriculum Group, where he collaborates to create curriculum resources that foster local and bioregional connections. An active musician and editor for the Journal of Contemplative and Holistic Education, Dr. Campbell’s scholarship is fundamentally committed to reconceptualising education within planetary limits. In the present, he is visiting fellow at the Social Sciences Section of the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB).
His talk at the University of Bucharest will be related to the theory of technology that unites both book-projects mentioned above. For more information about the event, please access the presentation abstract provided by Lect. Cary Campbell, available here.
