The World of Speech and Hearing

This course introduces students to scientists, engineers and
clinicians interested in how we communicate through speech and
hearing.  Because these mechanisms form the bases for human social
organization, they impact areas including education, entertainment,
engineering, business, medicine and psychology.  There will be visits
to sites at MIT, Harvard Medical School, hospitals, and Boston
University, where students will be able to converse with a wide
variety of professionals.  Emphasis will be on the personal stories of
people rather than didactic presentations of topics.  Subsequent
contacts with specific individuals will be encouraged.  The central
theme is that Speech and Hearing is a very broad field with
participants entering from many different disciplines.  Opportunities
for future research may emerge.

This will be a non-credit course.

Classes will be held from 5:00 – 7:00 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the month of January, 2015.  The first meeting will be on Tuesday, January 6 in the Jonathan Allen Room, 36-462, MIT.   Find out what this is all about.
