I'm a big fan of field recording and find it to be a useful practice in a number of different ways - not least to build an awareness of noise pollution levels in one's living space. There's a lot of great writing about it, and it can go in a direction of ecology, ethnography, journalism - whatever. You can get into the subject/object boundary-blurring and the consensuality of receiving sound, modes of triangulating and identifying wildlife through remote sensing, or compose sounds from demonstrations, the city, and interviews into a protest piece. The implications of "listening" are manifold.
some great reading off the top:
