[Fonetiklistan] Invitation to The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' symposium on the early history of Experimental Phonetics

Dear phoneticians! The Class for humanities and for outstanding services to science in collaboration with the Center for History of Science at The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will host on the 25th May a Science History symposium to highlight the interdisciplinary character of Experimental Phonetics’ history. The symposium will follow the humanist Armando de Lacerda’s (1902 – 1984) early work on Experimental Phonetics and the general scientific and cultural context in which it emerged, including Phonetics and Natural Sciences interactions from the late 1800s and up to about mid-1900s. Further information on the symposium’s program and subsequent book release, please follow this link to The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences home-page<https://www.kva.se/en/event/armando-de-lacerda-a-pioneer-of-experimental-phonetics-2/>. The event is public and free of charge but registration is necessary so that the lecture hall capacity can be adequately adjusted to the expected number of participants. We would appreciate if you could help spreading this information to students, as we hope the symposium may help promoting a fruitful (or at least interesting) interdisciplinary perspective among young students.
