Professor Jaipreet Virdi opened our series of talks celebrating UK Disability History Month with an entertaining and informative talk about deafness, perceptions of hearing loss and hearing aids in 20th century America. If you missed the talk, the pre-recorded lecture will be available here for the duration of UKDHM.
I am a Reader in Early Modern History at Manchester Metropolitan University. From 2021-2023 I have a Leverhulme Research Fellowship to research deafness in Early Modern England. Publications include Moderate Radical: Tobie Matthew and the English Reformation (Oxford University Press, 2018).
