In this 'Commission Conversation' Geoff Barton, Chair of the Commission on the Future of Oracy Education in England, talks to Deborah Cameron about why there is a recurring, problematic narrative about oracy in education, the trouble with articulating standards for spoken language and why 'accountability culture' creates problems for implementing oracy education. Deborah Cameron is a sociolinguist who, until recently, was Professor of Language and Communication at Oxford University. She has a particular interest in the relationship between language and gender, and has published several academic books on that topic.

Deborah Cameron explains how feminism and linguistics work together and we learn about her experience as a stand-up comedian, too. We chat about the importance of stories and narratives as a powerful way of human thinking. Deborah reminds us to critically look at how repeated narratives get normalised, as in the influence of folklore on crime reporting. We talk about equality, training targeted at women, and systemic challenges for feminism. Deborah shares advice on public engagement, the impact of linguistics, and the value of writing textbooks. She describes linguistics as an eye opener of culture and social relations. It is a way to think about lived experience – which sometimes can include a man in a potato suit. Deborah Cameron is Rupert Murdoch Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Oxford. Her books include The Myth of Mars and Venus. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michaela-mahlberg/message

Sister Outsider van Audre Lorde, met Sayonara Stutgard Lang verwacht en nu eindelijk hier: ons gesprek over de Nederlandse vertaling van Audre Lorde's klassieker Sister Outsider, met niemand minder dan Sayonara Stutgard! Audre Lorde was zelfgedefinieerd “zwart, lesbisch, moeder, strijder en dichter”. Ze schreef belangrijke essays en poëzie over o.a. de noodzaak van intersectioneel feminisme. Sayonara is naast dichter en redacteur ook mede-oprichter van feministische Uitgeverij Chaos. In deze aflevering praten we over de relevantie van Lorde's werk vandaag, de belangrijke functie van vertalingen om ideeën levend te houden, en het belang van grassroots uitgeverijen in Nederland. In Sister Outsider neemt Audre Lorde seksisme, racisme, leeftijdsdiscriminatie, homofobie en klassenwaan onder de loep. Haar essays laten zien hoe ingewikkeld identiteit is. Aan de hand van voorbeelden en anekdotes uit haar eigen leven onderzoekt ze welke barrières vrouwen tegenkomen en hoe daarmee om te gaan. Lorde geloofde in het erkennen en begrijpen van verschillen als drijvende kracht voor de vrouwenbeweging. Deze Nederlandse vertaling is gemaakt door Jenny Mijnhijmer en uitgegeven door Uitgeverij Pluim en Dipsaus. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Genoemd in de aflevering De Groene Amsterdammer publiceerde een mooi profiel van Audre Lorde.

Spinster, slut, bird, cat lady, ladette, hussy, bossy, goddess, wife. Guest presenter Nikki Bedi (sitting in for Michael Rosen) talks to Professor Deborah Cameron about the words used to talk about women. Deborah Cameron is Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Oxford.

Karen Boyle is Professor of Feminist Media Studies at the University of Stratchclyde. Karen’s research has long focused on questions of violence, gender and representation and she has published widely in this area, including in the monograph Media & Violence: Gendering the Debate (Sage 2005), as editor of Everyday Pornography (Routledge 2010) and her most recent book #MeToo, Feminism and Weinstein. In this conversation, we spoke about Karen's work on the trial reporting guidelines (link below) for more responsible coverage of sexual assault trials, the role of media in shaping opinions, how we can push for better coverage of rape cases and more. Discussed in the episode Trial Reporting Guidelines: https://www.genderequalmedia.scot/news/blog/how-to-report-sexual-assault-trials-responsibly/ Karen's free Gender and the Media online course: https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/gender-and-the-media Book- #MeToo, Feminism and Weinstein: https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030282424 Zero Tolerance Guidelines: https://www.zerotolerance.org.uk/work-media/ Women's Aid 1000 words Project: https://womensaid.scot/project/one-thousand-words/ Deborah Cameron's blog Language a Feminist Guide: https://debuk.wordpress.com/
Ian McMillan is joined by former US Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Natasha Trethewey, the poet Louise Fazackerley, linguist Deborah Cameron and singer Kathryn Williams to explore the language that feeds into domestic violence, and the images, myths and fairy stories that can help us cope with it, and prevent it. Natasha Trethewey Natasha is a former US poet Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner. She brings tenderness, compassion, and forensic attention to language in her new memoir ‘Memorial Drive' (Memorial Drive), an account of growing up with violence in the home, and of her mother's killing at the hands of her stepfather. Natasha explores the layers of silence that surround intimate violence – the way children's speech is often disregarded, even if they overcome their own silencing. Kathryn Williams Kathryn Williams is one of the most subtle singer-songwriters of her generation, crafting songs which balance strength and delicacy. Here she performs a special rendition of ‘Wolf' from her album ‘Old Low Light' ,recorded in lockdown, and speaks about the circumstances that inspired it for the first time. Kathryn's back catalogue is available in the limited edition ‘Anthology'. Louise Fazackerley Louise was one of The Verb's New Voices in 2014 – and her work has never shied away from difficult territory – described by one reviewer as razor-sharp and visceral, she is also a brilliant performer of her work. Louise reads ‘Women's Refuge' from the collection ‘Bird St' and an extract from her new collection ‘The Lolitas' (Verve Poetry Press) . Deborah Cameron Professor Deborah Cameron researches language and communication at the University of Oxford – she has a blog called 'Language: a feminist guide' – recent posts include commentary on dieting, the word ‘lad' and the ‘tone' of voice ascribed to women https://debuk.wordpress.com/ . She is the author of ‘The Myth of Mars and Venus'.
Meghan Murphy speaks with Deborah Cameron about her new book, "Feminism: A Brief Introduction to the Ideas, Debates, and Politics of the Movement."

Racial inequality now - what explains its persistence? Nasar Meer, Professor of Race, Identity and Citizenship at the University of Edinburgh asks why racial and ethnic disparities continue to be fundamental to our society. Also, women and political language. Deborah Cameron, Rupert Murdoch Professorship in Language and Communication at Oxford University, discusses her study of the speech styles of the leaders of the main political parties in the 2015 General Election. (The latter was a pre-recorded interview which was transmitted in an earlier Thinking Allowed. The billed interview with Miri Song, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent, had to be abandoned due to problems with the line from America). Producer: Jayne Egerton.
Beliefs about language and gender are everywhere; we are told that women apologise more, men interrupt more, women talk more, that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But are any of these things true? Why do so many people believe them? Catherine Carr speaks to leading linguiss Deborah Cameron and Janet Holmes, who have studied thousands of conversations and gathered data to discover the truth. She also interviews one of the most senior women in technology, Nicola Mendelsohn from Facebook, to discover how stereotypes impact women in leadership roles.

P1 Språket 25/1 2011 Ur barns och vuxnas munnar. Varför säger små barn så ofta gådde och fådde? Varifrån kommer ordet naken? Och varför kan man inte i svenskan säga regnet regnar som man gör på flera andra språk? Språkfrågorna från programmets lyssnare tar sig på smala stigar in i den svenska grammatiken. Den moderna forskningen om kvinnors och mäns språk började på 70-talet, säger Deborah Cameron, professor i engelska vid Oxford University i England. Karin Milles, lektor vid Södertörns högskola, berättar vad den svenska forskningen främst intresserat sig för.
En vanlig uppfattning om kvinnor är att de talar mer än män. Man hör också ofta att kvinnor i sitt språk är mera inriktade på att skapa samförstånd, medan män talar mera direkt, utan att linda in sina åsikter. Dessa påståenden har upprepats i ett otal populärvetenskapliga böcker under senare år, men är de sanna? - Nej, det vetenskapliga underlaget för uttalanden av detta slag är ofta obefintligt. Det säger Deborah Cameron, som är professor i språk och kommunikation vid University of Oxford, England. Hon har i sin forskning gjort upp med flera av de vanligaste myterna om skillnaderna mellan manligt och kvinnligt språk. Professor Lars-Gunnar Andersson besvarar lyssnarfrågor om uttal och stavning: - vem bestämmer om alfabetets bokstäver? - uttalet av v och w - hårda och mjuka vokaler - en fanders fäl - vad är fäl? - konstigt uttal av USA - uvesa - hur förändras uttalet när talaren är berusad?
