Join the usual sonic culprits Emily Sarsam, Yamen Makdad and Christina Hazboun in their aural exploration.

In this episode, Saskia examines an often overlooked side of languages. British Sign Language is the first language of many deaf and hard of hearing people, and their children across the UK, and yet misconceptions and myths about sign languages are pervasive and most Linguistics courses do not include modules on them. This podcast explores some of those myths, looking at some areas of linguistic interest, in BSL and around the world. Diane Stoianov, a PhD student, and Bencie Woll, head of UCL’s DCAL (Deaf Cognition and Language Research Centre), share what they are working on, and what they most want people to know about the study of sign languages, including topics on conversation practice, the history of BSL, and how sign languages are structured. BSL is an official minority language in the UK, and in UNESCO’s International Year of Indigenous Languages it is important to remember that here in the UK we have 14 indigenous languages, and not all of them are spoken.

Tongue tied – do you speak your mother's tongue? Kúnmi speaks to people who grew up with a home or family language different to a dominant societal one. Heritage speakers, as they're often called (who sometimes do not actually speak the language at all) feel a connection to the associated 'minority' culture which at times leads to complex relationship with the language. In the year of indigenous languages, this episode sought to ask what some people feel their indigenous language is. We heard from two languages (Yoruba and Spanish) and two generations to get their perspective on what it feels to be caught between two tongues. This podcast was recorded at SOAS Radio.

In the third episode of the SOAS Humanitarian Hub Podcast, Jake Tacchi talks with SOAS's Professor Steve Hopgood about his latest article: 'When the Music Stops, Humanitarianism in a Post Liberal World Order'. Amidst a shifting away from a liberal world order, most notably exemplified by the rise of China over the last 30 years, Professor Hopgood argues that humanitarianism and human rights as we know them are likely to suffer. He argues that, because such concepts are underpinned by the values of Western Liberalism, they will hold less dominance in the international sphere. As we move away from a Western-dominated global environment, the foundations of humanitarianism and human rights will be shaken as there is a greater focus on state sovereignty, not individual rights.

In the backdrop of the #metoo movement, alongside highly publicised scandals, such as those including Oxfam, Amy has provided a relevant and topical piece of research that looks to better understand the role of the humanitarian. We discuss the requirement for greater awareness of the inherent power dynamics at play in complex humanitarian environments, and the need for all organisations to create systems that are able to prevent abuses.

In the first episode of the SOAS Humanitarian Hub Podcast, Jake Tacchi talks with Dr Suda Perera, Senior Teaching Fellow in Conflict and Migration at SOAS, about her recent article: ‘To Boldly Know: Knowledge, Peacekeeping and Remote Data-Gathering in Conflict Affected States’.

Using her own experience of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Dr Perera discusses how these new technologies are affecting both research and humanitarian action, by creating greater distance from intended beneficiaries.
