James Deaville

James Deaville teaches music at Carleton University—his interests in music and screen media range from news music to representations of disability in audiovisual media. He has published books, book chapters, and articles about a variety of topics, most recently tied to audiovisual media. In 2019 he received a five-year Insight Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) for research on sounding disability in audiovisual media, which resulted in an article for The Soundtrack (2024). He has published book chapters on the sounds of madness and muteness in moving images and captioning in streaming television.
