The Aural Diversity Conference (2nd Edition) is a conference event regrouping multidisciplinary research which places auditory perception on a broad spectrum of listening and hearing experiences. The event is organised by doctoral students based in the Leverhulme Trust Aural Diversity Doctoral Research Hub (LAURA), some of whom are affiliated with the Applied Cognition group (including Saba Ansar, Mathilde Bauer, Addie Beckwith, Silvia Castellano, Sena Dokmeci, and Paula Schneider), under the supervision of programme leads Samantha Gregory and Bill Davies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 September 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conference will be held in-person at the University of Salford, MediaCityUK B4, Orange Tower, Salford M50 2HE, with an option for virtual\/hybrid attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The concept of aural diversity upholds that hearing differences do not occur along a binary spectrum from \u201cnormal\u201d to \u201cimpaired,\u201d but instead are a broad spectrum of listening and hearing types. Aurally-diverse thinking has begun to influence many disciplines, improving accessibility for aurally-diverse people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome presenters at all career stages. As an emerging field, aural diversity needs greater awareness, and we aim to highlight voices exploring its many dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no registration fees to attend the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
