Meetings

Phonetics Lab meetings are held biweekly on Fridays from 1:30-2:20 PM in GUG 415L and Zoom. All are welcome to attend! If you would like to present at a meeting or access to the Zoom link, please email the lab director.

Autumn 2025

Starting this quarter, the lab will also be holding a reading group in addition to our regular lab meetings on the lab's "off weeks" and will meet in the Phonetics Lab. This reading group will focus on reading and discussing recent papers in the field of phonetics, related to our research interests, or new methodologies.

You can find a link to our dynamic schedule for the 2025-2026 school year here.
