@AshleyRMoore3 Yes, Youtube is pretty good for sure.

@YuyaPecoTakeda Amazing!! I LOVE the title! A huge accomplishment, Yuya.

New Episode of Ekta with Claudia and Nikiel. Thank you for the courageous conversation on what instructors can do to create safe spaces for conversations about mental health. I also learned lots about the amazing work of the Student Union Society! rss.com/podcasts/ekta/…

@j_macca No one has ever called me inimitable... I like it! You're the best, Janice :-)

Linguists! Please spread the word to your UG students: The Racial Justice Committee in the Dept of Linguistics at the University of Toronto has started a new program to help support students who identify as Black or Indigenous and are applying to graduate school in linguistics.

An international and multilingual collaboration and labour of love! Check out my newest paper on qualitative research methods for study abroad learning! Loved working on this with Janice. slrpjournal.org/item/412

Student voice, absolutely. But it's not students' responsibility to expend the emotional, intellectual, and other labor required to transform conditions harming them. That's OUR responsibility. If we listen to what they demand every day we will have much of the info we need.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I think incentivizing good support systems for international students is a very good idea! theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

As ever, the importance of intersectionality cannot be underestimated. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
