🚨 Our volume "Re-imagining language and communication in collaborative projects" with @PerezMilans is in press! It is the result of many years of dialogue about the commons, utopias, inequality, imaginaries & more with superb scholars. 🌐Contents: shorturl.at/eV3FJ

Kate Menken and I accepted the invitation by the International Journal of the Sociology of Language to reflect on the intensification of academic publication. We focus on the principle of acceleration and collective attempts (and failures) to challenge it. degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

Sudha Vepa and I have something to say about philanthrocapitalism and the languaging of empowered women, particularly in global south settings like the one we examined. Article available in full-open access here: degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

Sudha Vepa from the UCL Centre for Applied Linguistics receives the 2024 Joshua A. Fishman award for her doctoral dissertation: “Language, Education and the Empowerment of Women: A Critical Sociolinguistic Ethnography”. More on De Gruyter’s blog! blog.degruyter.com/congratulation…

@HakDehbi @HannaKienzler @KingsCollegeLon @ucl Ucl also has similar initiatives: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@HannaKienzler @KingsCollegeLon Can @ucl academics join you ? Even in a symbolic way :-)

BREAKING: More than 200 academics at King's College London @KingsCollegeLon are pledging to #boycott Israeli universities and corporations complicit in the #genocide in #Gaza, occupation of the West Bank, and apartheid. Read our pledge 👇

In the latest Critical #Statelessness Studies blog, @A_Man_of_Dust explores the relevance of time and #temporality within the lived experiences of #stateless people, a topic he will be presenting on at #2024WCS next week in #Kuala_Lumpur law.unimelb.edu.au/centres/statel…

In case anyone was in any doubt: There are currently several hundred far right hooligans congregating in pubs & streets around parliament, singing racist songs getting drunk and being shunted around by riot police Some groups are not monitored by cops though & are moving freely

Very happy to announce that our special issue, "On-site processes of sociolinguistic differentiation," is finally out in Multilingua! Thanks to the editors for the support. My SI co-editor, Gilles Merminod, and I are very grateful! degruyter.com/journal/key/mu…

The whole of the EDI group activities are suspended because of retweets. Words fail me.

“We must not teach young learners the quintessential colonial method— wait for a people to die, make a museum of their genocide, then set up departments of decoloniality over their mass graves”, writes Afreen Faridi. theleaflet.in/what-palestine…

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5

Philosopher & gender studies scholar Judith Butler calls to end Israel's assault in Gaza. "We should all be standing up and objecting and calling for an end to genocide," says Butler, who recently joined dozens of Jewish writers & artists calling on Biden to demand a ceasefire.

A historic crime is unfolding in Gaza & the EU is in it up to its neck. MEPs sit & watch the slaughter & cannot even condemn it, calling it a "humanitarian crisis," as if it was caused by the weather. Infamy. EU will never live down the shame of today's resolution. #LongLiveGaza

Language/word gap, and a history on the making of racialised students

🚨 Las jugadoras de la @SEFutbolFem, campeonas del mundo y otras futbolistas, en apoyo a @Jennihermoso , manifiestan su firme condena ante conductas que han atentado contra la dignidad de las mujeres. El comunicado queda abierto a las futbolistas que se quieran adherir #seacabo

Así como lo ocurrido con #Rubiales, permite aunar una respuesta común contra el machismo y el patriarcado. Esperamos que cuando ocurran casos de racismo, como el de Vinicius, estos no se etiqueten como casos aislados, sino como resultado del racismo como sistema y estructura.

@MishaTeplitskiy There’s a whole bunch of people who call themselves ‘academics’ or researchers working in academia who don’t write/read papers this way or according to these ready-made sections - you’re just taking a particular paradigm and representing it as “academia”

The longer people are in academia, the more they realize that when reading papers it's best to ignore Intro, Discussion etc. and just look at Methods and Results journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
