**POSTPONED** Auraldiversity: towards a greater awareness of differences in hearing and listening
with Professor John Drever, Professor Andrew Hugill, Dr Annie Goh and Dr Iris Garrelfs (Chair).
Much in the world of music and sound studies operates from the assumption that everyone hears the same, or hears in the same way. Yet this is not so. Any individual's capacities will change over the course of a life time; people may differ in regard to their physical hearing apparatuses or the cognitive functions relating to audio processing, and there are also cultural sensibilities and preferences at play.
The Sound Practice Research Unit invites you to a panel considering issues of aural diversity hosted by Dr Iris Garrelfs. Confirmed speakers include Professor John Drever (Goldsmiths), who coined the terms auraltypical and auraldiverse hearing, and Professor Andrew Hugill (University of Leicester), who founded the Aural Diversity project.
More speakers will be announced soon.
Open to all, no reservation necessary.
The Music Research Series is designed to help postgraduate students advance their research and careers. The events stimulate exchange, hones skills, facilitates the creation of professional networks and helps to consolidate the department’s postgraduate community, all over a glass of wine! Attendance is strongly recommended for all postgraduate students (MA, MMus and PGR) in Music but of course undergraduates, music researchers, and visitors from across the college and the community are also most welcome to these public lectures.
