For our latest blog, we spoke with Dr Gisela Tomé Lourido at the @universityofleeds.bsky.social @lcsleeds.bsky.social to explore the real impact of accent bias.

“When we are unaware of our biases, these judgments can reinforce and perpetuate existing inequalities.”

Hey if you or your language and #linguistics students are looking for some end-of-term de-stressing, I put a couple more pages from my coloring book project up here: tinyurl.com/coloring-gre...
Coloring sheet. Block letters in the middle of the page read “There’s no such thing as ‘lazy’ language.” The text is surrounded by illustrations of snails. Completed coloring sheet. Block letters read "Every body has an accent," with one word on each line. A forearm palm up shows three tattoos in an homage to American traditional style: A rose; a horseshoe with '[ɡʊd lʌk' written on it, and a heart tattoo with a banner reading "[mɑm mam mʌm mɒm]]". In the space around the arm, a pair of hands meant to represent the ASL sign for "sign" and a mouth. The negative space is filled with stars.
