A book standing upright on multiple copies, which are laying next to a 1920s Underwood typewriter. The book cover is a faded and blurry background, with a photo of a person’s ear horizontal on the bottom, and text emitting from it to represent sound. The text in large font says “Echoes of Care” followed by “Deafness in Modern Britain” and the author’s name, Jaipreet Virdi.

New article is out! What's the right to learn sign language and a right to education in sign language worth, if you don't have the right to access or interact with other people who speak the same language? (with Johan Hjulstad, Ingjerd L. Ødemark and Patrick Kermit) doi.org/10.18061/dsq...

Just had my first Christmas do with a new team 4 months after joining a new university research group. What a fab bunch! My gast was flabbered to find that there are 2 ex-DJs in the team - haha!
Yep
And if it was anyone else who said that they were doing this, what would you say back to them? You'd give your excellent advice as always. Go, look in the mirror, and celebrate your choices.
Oh no, Julie 🤦♀️ 😟 I hope you weren't in the car at the time?
