I had the pleasure of talking to @jumokefashola on @BBCRadioLondon about accent prejudice and how it has changed over time (not as much as it should have!) to mark 60 years since the iconic film My Fair Lady. From 1:47:15 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

if you are an early career academic and interested in bidding for a project which has language, education, and social in/justice as a core theme, then i would be happy to offer some support and advice with this funding scheme!

Good to see our Chief Justice asking this question. Fantastic to have judges writing bilingually and openly promoting the use of our langs in court. @ActionLanguages #forensiclinguistics #access to justice #indigenouslanguages

We've received some amazing proposals, with exciting connections, but we're hoping for as expansive a discussion as possible, so would love to add more! How does development shape literature? What happens when literary scholars dip a toe in economic waters? Is it all a spiral?
