UCLA Bureau of Glottal Affairs Official page for the Bureau of Glottal Affairs research group in the Department of Head and Neck Surgery, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine.

The UCLA Bureau of Glottal Affairs is a confederation of laboratories engaged in the study of voice. The depth and breadth of expertise represented among our members allows us to pursue a broadly interdisciplinary approach to the study of voice, including methods drawn from biomechanics, medicine, cognitive psychology, linguistics, physics, engineering, and critical theory. Our work together reflects our shared view that voice can best be understood as a unitary process in which production, acoustics, and perception interact to shape and constrain each, so that each phase in the “speech chain” can only be understood in the context of the others.

Our colleague Bruce Gerratt is now Professor Emeritus, which means he doesn't have to waste time in clinic any more. Congratulations to him and welcome back to the full-time research fold!

Across animal species, voice plays a part in many, many aspects of behavior, including mate selection and attraction,...

Not glottal, but still a wonderful piece from the front page of today's Los Angeles Times about Pam Munro from the Linguistics Department. Very much worth reading!

For decades Tongva, the language of the first people who lived in the Los Angeles region, was consigned to notebooks and papers hidden away in museums. Through the efforts of a UCLA linguist, Tongva is being spoken again, and another world is being revealed.

The University of California has ended negotiations with Elsevier and will no longer maintain current subscriptions to any Elsevier journals (although back issues will remain acceessible). As a former chair of the UCLA Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication, I say good for us!

(Oh, and we're still looking for a postdoc...)

01/31/2019

The Bureau of Glottal Affairs is looking for a post-doc with an interest in voice production. Facility with Matlab or similar is preferred. Please drop us a line if you are interested or have someone to suggest. Thank you! (Note: It's warm and sunny in Los Angeles right now, if that's an incentive.)
