About This Event

On 16 November 2026, Dr Ally Shepherd will present ‘Ey up, love: Considering Northern English Accents and Dialects’ at the University of Leeds. The talk will explore the diverse accents and dialects of Northern England, examining their reflection of regional identity and history.

Drawing on a chapter from her non-fiction, Back Up North, Ally Shepherd, explores the rich variety of accents and dialects across Northern England, from Scouse and Geordie to the speech of Cheshire, Lancashire, and – of course – Yorkshire. We will examine how language reflects the region’s identity and history of industry and migration, considering how Northern voices have been celebrated (and discriminated against) and what this means for understanding Northern culture today.
