Colloquium Series
The Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (SLHS) Colloquium Series highlights theory-guided, hypothesis-driven translational research in our field.
The series features UConn researchers, top scholars from other universities across the country, and industry professionals. Invited speakers deliver 40-minute talks, with 20 minutes reserved for discussion and questions. Speakers also provide a relevant paper for students to read in advance of the talk to encourage interactive discussions.
The events are open to all research faculty, clinical faculty, and graduate students in our department, as well as UConn researchers in relevant departments, such as psychological sciences and linguistics.
All events begin at 12 p.m. See below for the event dates and locations.
