Dr Haru Yamada

Dr Haru Yamada is a PhD sociolinguistics researcher and writer from Georgetown University.  Haru's life mission is to champion listening, in many ways enforced by a serious accident which left her nearly deaf and with a lifelong hearing disability. Her goal is to make listening a thoughtful part of everyday practice. She currently lives in London with her French partner and two multilingual, biracial, multicultural children in a hybrid-working, bigenerational home governed by an old Bengal cat.
