Wonderful panel on Mechanics and Medievalisms at Coding Medieval Worlds #CMW2026 with @vinicius-marino.bsky.social and Stevan Anastasoff (@mabinogiongame.bsky.social), with the amazing Tess Watterson as chair @exilianofficial.bsky.social

We got a preview of Tales from the Mabinogion (bsky.app/profile/mabinogiongame.bsky.social) at Coding Medieval Worlds. Looks and sounds fabulous - great to have a game in Welsh! #CMW2026 @exilianofficial.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/3067260/...

Great keynote by @jubalbarca.bsky.social in Coding Medieval Worlds 6 😊 James took us through how he developed an interest in the field and reflected on different medievalisms using several examples including Hades. Rats were featured and the greyness with which the medieval world is often portrayed.

Joining the annual Coding Medieval Worlds gathering on game development and history. Looking forward to chairing tomorrow's panel on 'Communicating the medieval' 🎮 #CMW2026 @exilianofficial.bsky.social

I would definitely recommend research students to participate in this event, such a great opportunity to think beyond the 'traditional' ways of sharing research and get lots of feedback in the process 😊

An important thread

Looking forward to chairing this talk on brass bands and Chilean social movements today at 3pm. Do join us if you can www.york.ac.uk/hrc/events/2...

A great event to be part of 😊 Submissions for contributions are open to staff and students.

Happy birthday to Zoltan Pig 🎁 He got a choice of 2 books, but it was difficult for 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes' to compete with the very alluring 'A Guinea Pig Oliver Twist' 😂 Thanks Zoltan for appearing in the video in exchange for treats! #Acoustics #Soundscapes

Looking forward to everyone's presentations and to chairing the panel on Communication and Information next weekend ☺️

In 2023 I started my inaugural lecture with a reflection on how meaningful Shakira and JLo's performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show had been for the Latin American community and myself. A starting point to talk about representation in academia. Full introduction here: vimeo.com/1161088901

Pleased to learn that in 2013 Argentinian actor Ricardo Darín (the actor of El Eternauta - Netflix) shared that he declined an invitation to star in the film 'Man on Fire' partly because he didn't want to play yet another Latin American drug dealer on screen. Well done! More of this please! 👏

The challenges of academic work on games 😂

Resuming work on this article I seem to have been writing since 2021. My writing notes proudly and confidently say 'In the first game the player is guided by a fairy. In the second, they are guided by Sean Bean.' 😂

Looking forward to welcoming our postgraduate research community 😊

Really enjoyed recording this podcast episode with Christopher Samuel about his art. He discussed how some of his work addressed issues of lack of representation of disabled people in museum archives, as well as the power dynamics in care provision, and more enhancingaudiodescription.com/darci-26

A new episode of the DARCI Podcast on Disability, Accessibility and Representation in the Creative Industries has just landed. I had the honour of interviewing multi-disciplinary artist Christopher Samuel, whose work explores intersections between disability and race tinyurl.com/2tbw7tz6

My phone is a bit dramatic when it comes to weather forecasts. "Tomorrow: 2ºC colder than today"...it announces.

Did everyone know that ResearchFish was going to be discontinued? First time I hear of it.

Colleagues at the SOUND/IMAGE Research Centre at the University of Greenwich have opened a survey to help them curate a concert of the most significant electroacoustic and sound art compositions composed in the UK. If you are able to help, here's the short survey: forms.office.com/e/4RfL1CFMYa

This cupcake needs to get me through the anxieties of starting to write a new piece and staring at a blank word document

Just finished creating all the ALBERT Grad Certificates for the students who took the extracurricular module 'Applied Skills for a Sustainable Media Industry' and have successfully passed all the assessments. It was a great cohort of students to work with. Congratulations to all of them 😊 🌱

I wonder if some platforms are designed to be passive aggressive. Vimeo: "Your video is standing out and getting noticed. You got 1 like" Ok...👀 LinkedIn: "Your post got 20 impressions, way to go!" 😬 I sense they are trying to tell me something 🤔

Working on editing the EAD track for an incredibly moving documentary. More on our work on accessibility through sound design on our website enhancingaudiodescription.com

Delighted to share an episode of GS Animation's 'Mami Fatale' with EAD (Enhanced Audio Description) - a form of accessibility for visually impaired film/TV audiences through sound design, in which accessibility is integrated to the soundtrack resulting in a seamless experience tinyurl.com/2uudn6d3

Just spotted that Routledge has 'Sonic Pasts' at a discounted price for a few days in case anyone is interested 📚 #Heritage #Acoustics #Soundscapes www.routledge.com/Sonic-Pasts-...

New episode of the DARCI Podcast on Disability, Accessibility and Representation in the Creative Industries, featuring Lily Norton from Stopgap Dance Company discussing the close connection between accessibility and creative practice, and more. Full episode with transcript: tinyurl.com/44mhbt38

I was asked to disseminate the information on the upcoming Second edition of the Online Access Coordination Course for Film and TV, organised by the University of Vigo and the Spanish Film Academy. Great to see so many talented colleagues involved www.academiadecine.com/coordinacion...

Not sure what it is with university offices, where they see a radiator and its temperature control dial and they think 'Sure, let's put a bookcase in front of it and make it really hard to access and switch on' 😂

Great to see the work of one of the students in the module 'Skills for a Sustainable Media Industry' highlighted as a case study. It's always a pleasure to teach this module and see students apply what they learn to their film/TV productions @school-of-act.bsky.social wearealbert.org/2025/12/08/e...

Love seeing copies of 'Sonic Pasts' out there in the world 😊

Seen a few posts about Living Heritage, due to UK's submissions being open. If you are interested in Intangible Cultural Heritage (which is what Living Heritage is referring to), one of the chapters in my book reflects on the convention, its history and what has/hasn't been included in UNESCO lists

Waiting for the airline to reunite me with my suitcases

A new edition of Salsa in Unusual Places, one nobody was waiting for 🤣 Salsa-ing to the sounds of nature. This time from Patagonia.

These are the big questions 🤣 I'm loving the phrase 'weaponised incompetence' www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

From Buenos Aires to Montevideo on a ferry named after Pope Francisco/Francis. Thanks to the team of Universidad de la República for the warm welcome.

Huge thanks to the team at NICA UDELAR for such a warm welcome to Uruguay and to the amazing Leticia Lorier. Such a pleasure to get to present the #EAD methods for accessibility. Gracias 😌

A short message in English and then Spanish. Looking forward to presenting in Uruguay next week 😊 I'll be talking about the #EAD methods (Enhanced Audio Description) - our work on sound design for accessibility. For more information on our work, please visit our website enhancingaudiodescription.com

A new episode of the #DARCI Podcast on Disability, Accessibility and Representation in the Creative Industries has just landed! An insightful interview with Dr Jessi Parrott on disability representation and the importance of joy 😊 enhancingaudiodescription.com/darci-24 #Disability #Accessibility

I think someone sent me a DM but I don't have the Inbox active as I don't fancy doing the age check (I don't like any of the methods). So I'm really sorry but I don't know who has messaged me. I'm not sure BlueSky let's people sending a message know this 🤔

If anyone is interested 'Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapes' is available through @routledgebooks.bsky.social at a discounted price #Soundscapes #Acoustics #Heritage www.routledge.com/Sonic-Pasts-...

One of the doctoral researchers I work with is doing research on film sound and its connection to emotional responses. She's doing a short online survey/questionnaire. Takes about 10 minutes. If you are able to help that would be great 😌 york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Our EAD (Enhanced Audio Description) Demo Reel is now available. For a quick demonstration of the work we do and how it adapts to different types of productions, do have a watch/listen. It's in an A/B format, so you can watch the 'original' clip followed by the EAD version vimeo.com/1139009191

😅Check out these titles!

Really proud of this event and the team. I hope you enjoy the blog post enhancingaudiodescription.com/darci-confer...
