Screening of film 'My Beautiful Stutter' for UCD staff and students, members of Irish Stammering Association and members of the public.

The website (thestammeringcollective.org) makes the research of the Wellcome Project Metaphoric Stammers and Embodied Speakers, public and accessible to a broader stammering community (people who stammer, activists, clinicians, creative practitioners).

As part of a podcast on 'Rewriting the Stories of Disability' (Mind Readings, episode 4), I spoke about recent developments in dysfluency studies that were challenging/transforming cultural responses to stammering.

I was invited to give a lecture on 'Cultural Representations of Stammering' as part of Stammering Awareness Day: 'Growth Through Speaking' (organised by the Irish Stammering Association). The talk drew on ongoing research connecting clinical, cultural and creative approaches to dysfluent speech.
