June 30th, 2023

Working on Young Sound Seekers has made me an advocate for accessibility and universal design. My advice to anyone who teaches: It’s really important to think about barriers that may exist while preparing your lessons, and think about ways you can eliminate them at the design stage. That is the philosophy that led me to […]

Helicopter overflights at ASA

December 9th, 2022

In January of 2022, I joined the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) because I was seeking an organization dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of sound.

I followed up by attending their December 2022 conference in […]

The Professional Development Committee at Stetson sponsors a regular roundtable series in which faculty present recent scholarly work to their peers at the university.

Tromsø Artist Talk

December 10th, 2012

During my October visit to Oslo, Jon Marius Aereskjold invited me to come speak to his students at the Musikkonservatoriet i Tromsø.

I was actually in Frankfurt, Germany for this November event less than 48 hours, but it was such a joy to contribute. I met so many great people doing […]
