In this talk, Dr. Meryl Alper offers a new angle on these established critiques through a qualitative study of individuals with significant communication disabilities who use mobile devices for synthetic speech output. Alper argues that voice is an overused and imprecise metaphor in media and communication studies, one that abstracts, obscures, and oversimplifies the human experience of disability. She will discuss implications of her research for our rapidly changing media ecology and political environment, where the question is not only which voices get to speak, but also who is thought to have a voice to speak with in the first place. \n    <\/p>\n\n\n\n[\/collapsible]\n<\/div>\n\n\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keynote Speaker Cheri Paulson, senior director for the Graduate Center for Career Development at Babson College Cheri Paulson is the senior director for the Graduate Center for Career Development at Babson College where she provides strategic direction, oversight of the career advisory team and operational deliverables.
