Our series of webinars exploring different topics around stammering and what the research in that area tells us.
In a recent survey, STAMMA members said they wanted to know more about research into stammering. So, in response, we launched the 'Research Talks' events.
These 60 to 90-minute webinars, running roughly four times a year, are all about learning what research tells us about stammering. At each event, a researcher explains the findings from a particular research project or set of projects. It could be about brain imaging, research into therapy approaches, social attitudes towards stammering or a whole host of other topics!
Come along. The events are aimed at those of us who are NOT researchers, so you don't need to have any prior knowledge of the topic or be familiar with the world of research.
You won't be pressured to speak or ask questions either. You can just listen to the conversation.
Join in
You can take part in three ways:
Come and listen
Be part of the discussion around stammering. We want you there so that you have the chance to hear more about stammering research from specialists in the field, think about why the research is important for people who stammer and ask any burning questions you might have.
Keep an eye on our Events section to see when the next Research Talk is taking place.
Or, follow us on social media where we'll promote the events: Instagram (@stammauk), Facebook and X (@stammer).
Be a 'discussant'
We're looking for a few people to come along and be a 'discussant' — someone to highlight when they think something needs more explanation, ask questions and keep the conversation going. If you fancy doing that, email catherine.woolley@stamma.org
Share your research
Are you a researcher who focuses on stammering and people who stammer? Would you be interested in sharing some of that research with the public? If so, Research Talks gives you the space to share the current evidence base and research into a specific topic or area.
If you have a topic you’d like to discuss and would be interested in taking part, email catherine.woolley@stamma.org with a brief outline of your research area (just a few sentences are enough).
