Gaydar – Erkennen wir die sexuelle Identität an der Stimme?

In the organizer's words:

He sounds kind of gay..." - I'm sure we've all heard statements like this. There are definitely ideas about what "gay" or "lesbian" sounds like, but can sexual identities really be recognized by the voice? And what is "heterosexual" speech, for example? Junior Professor Dr. Lars Sörries-Vorberger sheds light on the complex relationship between voice and sexuality from a sociophonetic-queerlinguistic perspective and shows what we can do with our voice and what information it conveys.

Out of the university, into the city: at the "Lecture for All", academics from the University of Hamburg give lectures at unusual locations in the city.

In a relaxed and easy-to-understand atmosphere, they report on exciting research topics, provide insights into new scientific findings and explain the significance of research for our everyday lives. After the lecture, visitors have the opportunity to ask questions and exchange ideas. The events last approximately one hour and are free of charge, but registration is required via the website.
