Do you watch TV programmes with signing? Lumo TV has asked @jeminanapier.bsky.social @annelieskusters.bsky.social & @rejadam.bsky.social from @heriotwattuni.bsky.social to conduct a research project to find out what kinds of signing TV that Deaf sign language users in the UK prefer to watch.

Today I had fun contributing in BSL as a panellist to the multilingual debate organised by the Dept of Languages & Intercultural Studies @heriotwattuni.bsky.social to debate the motion “the house believes that screens are detrimental to the development of young people’s cognitive abilities”

Privileged to have been in Johannesburg this last week with members of the InforMHAA project team to work with a South African team to explore how to enhance sign language interpreting in health and social care contexts. Learned so much and met many inspiring people.

Delighted that Lucy Clark was able to attend thr Scottish Institute for Policing Research conference to accept the award on behalf of the team for our research with deaf women and access to support after experiencing domestic abuse.

A privilege to be here at the Centre for Deaf Studies at University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg with UK and SA collaborators this week for our Academy of Medical Sciences funded research network project. We’re here to explore how to enhance sign language interpreting in health and social care

Honoured to be here at the Asia-Pacific Translation & Interpreting Forum conference hosted by Hong
Kong Baptist University as an invited keynote speaker. Great to see HK Sign Language interpreters will be working throughout the conference

Delighted to share news that the collaborative work we did at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social with @policescotland.bsky.social on the Justisigns 2 and SILENT HARM projects has been shortlisted in the Research Project of the Year category for the 2025 Herald Education Awards for Further & Higher Education

It’s arrived! Our book is now published & just got the hard copy. Proud of this work with my co-editors Robert Adam & Stacey Steen (Webb) featuring 22 chapters from different countries.
