Welcome to another episode of Much Language Such Talk! We have been talking about this episode for a long time, and it's finally here!

For this episode, we interviewed Joe Pearce. He is a PhD researcher at the University of Glasgow. His research looks at gender differences in the production and perception of voice quality in contemporary Scotland from a trans-focused perspective. They have investigated whether listeners use creaky voice and breathy voice as cues to a speaker’s gender before, and his current research is looking at voice quality across three regions of Scotland with an in-depth look at three transgender speakers’ use of voice quality and how they understand it. He has given workshops on language in the LGBTQ+ community, and contributed to public engagement regarding language and gender.
He served as the President of the Glasgow University English Language Society from 2018-2019, and as the Secretary of the Glasgow University Linguistics Society from 2019-2020.
