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!

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.
