WomenNspeech

ISCA is committed to gender equality. With the help of the WomenNspeech group (particularly Maxine Eskenazi who started this list), a database has been created with the names, affiliations, positions, and research topics of women in speech science and speech technology. Click here for an overview of the database.

This database can be used for, amongst others:

  1. Workshop and conference organisers to search for keynote and invited speakers, panelists, and co-organisers;
  2. Nominations for distinguished lecturers;
  3. Norminations for awards, medals, fellowships, and prizes;
  4. Prospective new faculty by faculty search committees.

If you identify yourself as female and want to be added to this list, please send the required information to: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
