Detailed Description

Interdisciplinary Voice Workshop

2-3 July 2026
The Guildhall, York 

Following on from the inspiring meetings in 2024 and 2025, the Interdisciplinary Voice Workshop moves to York for the first time. Voice studies is an emerging area of research with numerous opportunities for cross- and interdisciplinary collaboration. Its areas of focus range from basic questions in auditory perception and motor control, to disability and identity, to the aesthetics and politics of vocality, and to advances in technological applications, such as automatic speech recognition. As we learn more about the lives and ecological contexts of non-human animals, it becomes increasingly clear that rich, complex, and varied vocal communication behaviours are far from limited to human speech. Given the breadth and diversity of research taking place in this rapidly developing field, there is an exciting opportunity to form a cohesive community with shared interest in the voice and vocality, within and across species.
