Less than a week to go to our AIMS@NTU conference "Dynamics, Mediation, Mobilization – Future Directions in Memory Studies" with a keynote by Ann Rigney and Roundtables on the most pressing issues (not just for our field)! Check out the program 👇 aimsntu.org/conference/

The podcast about 'solidarity' that Joanna Wawrzyniak and I have been working on as part of our COST funded Slow Memory project is now available here: www.slowmemory.eu/podcast-2/ Listen to what our group on 'work' have been discussing with European trade unionists! @slowmemo.bsky.social

@slowmemo.bsky.social -after 3 great days in Tirana, excited to see what Dürres will bring!

Following collaboration with Nicola McLelland on ‘celebrating language heritages in Nottingham and the region’ - view our new website. Please sign our pledge about ‘Living Heritages and Language’ to raise awareness, share good practice and increase those working on language(s) nottinghamlingo.net

Interestingly, one of the findings of the recent paper 'Stereotyped accent judgements in forensic contexts' from @nataliebraber.bsky.social & @alicepaver.bsky.social is that the Birmingham accent seems to have surged in popularity.

We've got a new episode coming up soon featuring 3 linguists - yes, three! And one of them is doing the interviewing: Amanda Cole joins us as a guest interviewer as we talk to @nataliebraber.bsky.social & @alicepaver.bsky.social about their paper on Stereotyped Accent Judgements in Forensic Contexts

Very excited to have joined this platform: will be posting about language as heritage, linguistic variation in the East Midlands, pit talk, memory and accent discrimination! You can watch me talking about language and heritage on Notts TV here (scroll to 39.39): nottstv.com/programme/no...
