Join the Hearing Others Facebook Community: welcome from us all, specially the series editors Ruth and Roh. We all look forward to your ideas and questions and arguments and (seriously!) criticisms and challenges. It would be specially interesting for your colleagues across the world to have your (honest) reactions to any of the discussion questions. Photos and videos too, images, and links to lots of music and poetry and thoughts please, your own and others’. The series, after all, is Hearing Others’ Voices – yours very much included – so that’s what it’s all about.
