Do you have a student or post-doc interested in phonological development? I'm teaching a grad seminar on the topic in the fall, and I'd love to host guest speakers in areas where I have less expertise like speech sound disorders, dialect diversity, & sign language phonology.

Nothing about us, without us

We're calling for improved #BSL representation in media discussions on the new BSL GCSE. It's a landmark moment for the signing community and BSL signers should be part of the conversation.
