We're excited to announce that this Thursday we will welcome @tamayoana_ for a guest lecture on sign languages. If you're not already part of the network, send us an email if you'd like to join: [email protected]
Just under two weeks to submit your abstract!
One month left to get your abstacts in - don't miss out!
Wondering how eye-tracking might be useful for media accessibility research? Join our next guest lecture on February 29! Excuse the early start but our speakers will be connecting all the way from Australia - we promise it'll be worth it!
