Abstract: In simple terms, a voice is the sound produced by the lungs and vocal
organs, but what of those who cannot speak? What of those who can but
are too shy or removed from society to be heard?
In truth, having a voice means more than just the production of sound. It
is to have meaning and to express individual thoughts and experiences. This
broadens what we understand as ‘voice’ to include other forms of language
and communication. Thus, in becoming so synonymous with expression,
voice comes to suggest a sense of belonging to a place or idea, a partaking in
decisions, and inevitably, a divulging of ourselves to others. After all, what we
do with our voice says a lot about us. [excerpt]2025-09-01T00:00:00ZART Connect : UM Library as a living canvas/library/oar/handle/123456789/1404252025-10-21T13:46:50Z2025-09-01T00:00:00ZTitle: ART Connect : UM Library as a living canvas

Abstract: What if a rainy day isn't a
ruined plan but the beginning
of a new adventure? While
adults often trade wonder for
life’s responsibilities, children
are full of curiosity, seeing the
extraordinary in the ordinary.
Author Nadia Abdilla and
Senior Lecturer Dr Giuliana
Fenech are exploring the
power of wonder through
children’s literature.2025-09-01T00:00:00ZThe science of voice : how humans produce sound and how to protect it/library/oar/handle/123456789/1404202025-10-21T13:24:07Z2025-09-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The science of voice : how humans produce sound and how to protect it
Abstract: Humans speak, sing, whisper, laugh, groan, and yell, often without giving a second thought to
how the voice works. Yet behind every word lies a finely-tuned biological process, one that
transforms breath into language with remarkable precision and complexity.2025-09-01T00:00:00Z
