IAFPA Student Committee

We are a group of 3 PhD students researching different areas within the field of forensic phonetics and acoustics. As the IAFPA student committee, our mission is to provide easier communication channels and greater opportunities for international collaboration for student IAFPA members, both within and outside of the IAFPA annual conference.

Our current main goals are to provide opportunities for students to meet and interact with one another at the IAFPA annual conference in the form of student gatherings and student meeting points during breaks. Outside the conference, we occasionally run a student lecture series, in which students can present their ongoing research to other students to gain valuable feedback and potentially even collaborative opportunities.

We have created a new IAFPA WhatsApp group where student members can easily connect and stay in touch throughout the year. Being an IAFPA student member has many benefits, and if you have more ideas for events, talks, and other more or less formal activities that you would like to bring forward, or if you yourself would like to get involved in organising, please let us know. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch via email if you would like to join the WhatsApp group or if you have any general enquiries: iafpastudentrep@gmail.com

We look forward to getting to know you!
