Just published, the co-structuring of gesture-vocal dynamics in vocal performance, with @wimpouw.bsky.social and Thomas Nuttall. Which dimensions of hand and head gestures co-structure with which vocal modalities, and how does this differ across individuals? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
