A multimedia exhibition at the Ron Cooke Hub explores the relationship between regional accents and identities in four Border communities

A free exhibition showcasing the research of Dr Dominic Watt and Dr Carmen Llamas was launched recently on the Heslington East campus. Through the "Accent and Identity on the Scottish-English Border" project, funded by the ESRC, they investigated the relationship between regional accents and identities in four Border communities - Carlisle, Gretna, Eyemouth and Berwick upon Tweed.

The exhibition, 'Identity on the Borderline', can be viewed from 2 to 17 November, in the Exhibition Space, the Ron Cooke Hub, Heslington East. A multimedia installation in the 3Sixty immersive space will run from 12 noon to 2.00pm, Monday to Friday.
