Lecture Series
The SSI lecture series occurs twice a month on Wednesdays between 7 and 8 PM throughout the academic year (Sept-Dec and Jan-April). We host lectures from affiliated researchers and guest speakers on diverse topics related to sound research, scholarship, and artistic explorations with sound.
Workshops
Our workshop series gives academics, artists, and community members an opportunity to learn about sound, with topics ranging from recording and editing sound, field recording, podcasting, mastering, and more.
Performances, Exhibitions, and Symposiums
SSI often sponsors performances and exhibition events. Now well into its second decade, our signature live performance event is the annual Women of Folkways concert as part of the Winter Roots Roundup.
