Panel: Pathways to Faculty Positions in Two-Year Colleges
This panel will feature the voices of two-year college faculty from the Seattle District Colleges who will describe their paths to these teaching-intensive institutions and offer advice to graduate students who are considering community college careers. Panelists will discuss effective approaches to the job search and application materials, the classroom experience, service expectations, and the unique rewards of working in this critically important part of the higher education sector. Panelist remarks will be followed by Q&A with the audience.

Linguistics Colloquium Series: "Voice quality’s acoustic landscape within and across languages" - Mykel Brinkerhoff (University of Washington)
This talk explores a framework for analyzing voice quality and identifying the acoustic measures most relevant to capturing the phonetic distinctions among different voice qualities. The framework involves a two-step process: first, conducting a multidimensional scaling analysis to determine which acoustic measures are most closely correlated to the different dimensions; second, performing a random forest analysis to identify the measures most important for distinguishing between phonation types. By combining these analyses, we can pinpoint the acoustic measures that are both statistically significant and phonetically meaningful, focusing on where the two methods converge. These results are compared with Keating et al.’s (2023) paper on the acoustic landscape of voice quality, showing that the results they found hold with more acoustic data and also when comparing speakers within a single language.
The results also highlight several key areas to consider when analyzing voice quality. Two well-established area…
