Why do we all have an accent? And why do some people face bias because of theirs? Sociolinguist Prof. Rob Drummond joins Kadija to explore how accents shape our identities, signal belonging, and carry stereotypes we rarely question. Together, they unpack what “accentism” looks like and why embracing linguistic diversity is not just fair, but essential.
Prof. Rob Drummond is Professor of Sociolinguistics at Manchester Metropolitan University and author of You’re All Talk: Why We Are What We Speak. He is a regular commentator on language and identity across BBC Radio, TV, and international media.

Description

I Speak Your Language explores how language shapes our lives... and who gets left out of the conversation. Host Kadi, a linguist & poet, talks to experts, artists and communities to unpack how language barriers impact our daily experiences, and intersect with race, class, disability, and neurodivergence. The podcast is a space to recognise and reflect on the barriers that shape how we communicate, and how we navigate them. Tune in every Thursday and join the community!

Such a thought provoking podcast!

Love this podcast! Such an interesting topic that we can all relate to on a personal level from our own life experiences. The show also, more importantly, sparks discussion and introspection for how we observe and perceive language
