CISD Afghanistan Strategic And Geopolitical Perspectives 12 March 2019 by SOAS Radio

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. This podcast was recorded at SOAS Radio. Episode concept by Saskia Dunn Music: Yellow Light District (ID 1135) Lobo Loco - www.musikbrause.de Creative Commons License (by-nc-nd)

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. Episode concept by Kúnmi Ọlá Music: Yellow Light District (ID 1135) Lobo Loco - www.musikbrause.de Creative Commons License (by-nc-nd) This podcast forms part of a series of four podcasts produced by the SOAS World Languages Institute celebrating UNESCO’s International Year of Indigenous Languages 2019.

Join Leo and Frazer, as they take you on a whistle-stop tour around the world via interviews with speakers of a variety of languages in an attempt to answer the above questions. They explore what it means to speak more than one language, whether fluency is all that important, the darker side of multilingualism, language ideologies and policies, how they affect us all, and a whole lot more in between. Thanks to all the interviewees who shared their stories! This podcast was recorded at SOAS Radio. Episode concept by Leonore Lukschy and Frazer Roberts

Are you indigenous? What makes a person indigenous? What does being indigenous really mean? Join Francesca, Clare and Kúnmi on a big discussion on what it means to be ‘indigenous’, the differences between indigenous and endangered languages, and the rate at which indigenous and endangered languages are disappearing. With flash interviews from linguists and SOASians, and a conversation with SOAS World Languages Institute director Mandana Seyfeddinipur, we disentangle the different meanings and contexts behind the heavily loaded term ‘indigenous’, and see what interesting and important information it can give us regarding the future of endangered languages.'

Join all four co-presidents in the SOAS Radio studio today discussing the past couple of very eventful months here at SOAS Students' Union. The co-presidents respond to some questions submitted by SOAS students, including: 3:46  Why is the SU not letting students hold them to account? 6:26 Why is the SU acting like a rogue entity whereby they dismiss and intimidate all those with grievances. 8:21 Why did some S.U. co-presidents vote against having a referendum to hold them to account? 14:38 Why were all students not balloted if they want to support recent teachers strike action- is the student union unrepresentative, only 10% of SOAS students voted in electing union officials many of which had only 1 candidate- is the student union therefore dictatorial and akin to a one party state 20:58 Also do you think tactics of intimidation by picket-liners who in turn forced student solidarity (by people being scared to cross the picket line) is acceptable?   32:24 Why hasn't SOAS Admin + SOAS SU done more to mobilize support for compensation? Especially when international students are paying literally thousands of pounds? 32:33 If both lecturers and students are losing out economically - but we are only supporting the lecturers - how can we call this one-way support ''solidarity'', especially when students are quite vulnerable too?
