Social Research with Deaf People (SORD) at The University of Manchester was pleased to welcome Professor Uma Palanisamy from Monash University Malaysia during her visit last week. We appreciated the fantastic opportunity to engage in discussions and knowledge exchange.
Photo ID: Six people posing together, smiling at the camera inside the café at Whitworth Gallery, Manchester. Four stand in the back row, while two sit in the front. A large window behind them reveals trees and grass. The University of Manchester and SORD logos appear in the bottom right corner.

New article by Oram and Young (2025) titled “The modern history of social work with Deaf people” has been published in the Bulletin of the Social Work History Network: doi.org/10.21954/ou....
Logos at the top for “The University of Manchester” and “SORD”. Below, a photo of a person typing on a laptop at a table with a plant and a cup. Text reads: “New journal article: The modern history of social work with Deaf people by Oram, R. and Young, A.” A URL is provided: https://doi.org/10.21954/ou.ro.00102224. Two circular photos of Oram and Young are shown at the bottom. The whole picture has a background of white on the top and dark pink on the bottom behind the photos and text.
