Would you like to attend a free workshop to produce a collective film about the future of Morecambe? This exciting new project by Dr @clrnance.bsky.social and Dr Dalila Missero aims to develop a new film drawing upon historical films and oral history recordings.

Very happy to have been awarded an APEX grant for a project on “Interpretable acoustic-articulatory relations in speech production” w/ co-investigators Anton Ragni & Aneta Stefanovska. The plan is to do some interesting speech research at the intersection of linguistics, physics & computer science!
A slide on voice identification discussing that voices have been used to identify individuals for a long time through various sources like phone calls, taxi calls, cctv or surveillance footage
A bookmark advertising the MSc Forensic Linguistics and Speech Science, on top of my factor notebook and new pens. If I could do another Masters I’d consider this one!!
A slide titled ‘the voice is not a constant’ with images to show how voice may change for context or audience, it featured two short clips of Gillian Anderson using her American and English accents depending on her audience.
A Lancaster University tote back featuring a line image of a duck. On my way back to the car I walked past many ducks and several ducklings.
Day one of the Factor forensic linguistics summer school done and I’m really enjoying it so far.
I did my MA at @lancslinguistics.bsky.social before they did much in this area. I enjoyed sociophonetics so seeing some of the more applied aspects with forensic speech science was a great start!
I'm excited to be giving a keynote at the @dhssfau.bsky.social summer school on Data, Gender and Society, where I'll be talking about corpus linguistics and language & gender research. @lancslinguistics.bsky.social
New chapter out now on feminist protest and political change with @mchalu.bsky.social, in this important collection on language and gender in Eastern Europe, edited by @ksenijabogetic.bsky.social. @lancslinguistics.bsky.social

Once a year we take our @lancslinguistics.bsky.social MA students for a trip to the Lakes that involves a little hiking, a little climbing, a little caving and a little ice cream. Once again we were incredibly lucky with the weather and everyone had a great day out and a day off from dissertations.
I'm honoured to have been appointed to the editorial board of Communication & Medicine! This is a leading journal for research on health communication, and I'm excited to support its important work: utppublishing.com/journals/com... @lancslinguistics.bsky.social

@lancslinguistics.bsky.social
We had a super day yesterday at the @lancslinguistics.bsky.social Research Colloquium with colleagues sharing a diverse range of research conducted in connection with Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster.
Tomorrow, I will give an internal presentation at Lancaster. Speaking for the Voices of Supporters team, I'll talk about the discourse of supporters and opponents of #populist parties across Europe. Curious what colleagues work on, given how large and diverse @lancslinguistics.bsky.social is.
✨Discovering dynamical laws for speech gestures ✨
➡️ I’m delighted to announce my new article out today in Cognitive Science, where I discover simple mathematical laws that govern articulatory control in speech.
