Capstone 2019
Listening is the most ignored practice in the mainstream world today. It is seen as something that you just do and not so much as a skill you build. We hear, respond, comprehend, question, learn to give visual and verbal cues etc. and for the most part assume that is listening. But does this listening help us learn, grow, understand each other at a human level and collaborate? Are there multiple ways of engaging the auditory sense for multiple purposes and does each one of them have a place in how we engage with the world? And can we enhance these capacities? This Capstone project is an exploration of what constitutes the different auditory capacities, what do the philosophers and the experts make of it, what is its value in my personal and professional practice and finally how do we build mastery in it.
