@alison_s_coates There’s nothing quite like the love we share with our pets. Sending condolences and all good wishes to you

I'm happy to share a recording of my inaugural lecture on 'Language Diversity & Social (In)Justice' for anyone who missed it or watched online and found that the slides weren't working (which has been fixed in the recording). Feel free to share: youtube.com/watch?v=SgEaUO…

@voice21oracy Thanks! Just to clarify: the payment of £30 is only for those attending f2f. Demand has FAR exceeded my expectation for the virtual workshop (and I don't have the budget...). Rather than turn anyone away tho, I'll run more than one virtual session.

Are you a primary teacher/leader interesting in applying oracy education in a socially just & inclusive way? Join me for a free workshop in Jan. You will receive £30 as recognition of the expertise you bring. See link for more info & booking: forms.office.com/e/TBLZHgkWfn...

@voice21oracy That’s very kind, thank you!

One week today! Join me for my inaugural lecture on 12th Nov. If you won’t be in Leeds, you can join online (dm me for Teams link)

If you won’t be in Leeds, we’re hoping to live stream and record. Drop me a message if you want the link

Please join me on 12th November at my professorial inaugural lecture on ‘Language Diversity and Social (In)justice’ at the University of Leeds . More info here, including a link at the bottom to book a ticket (which is free but we need to track numbers): ahc.leeds.ac.uk/english/events…

I’m thrilled that we @EngMediaCentre are now able to share the extraordinary full set of video clips of Tony Harrison reading & talking about several poems (including ‘Them & Uz’) plus a wonderful interview about poetry in general. In memory. RIP englishandmedia.co.uk/videos/collect…

So much to reflect and act upon this year too. Inspirational takes from @SnellJulia @ian_cushing @smlovatt Dr Wayne Tennent and many others. Part of the joy is to have their input side by side and to have the links shine out. Thanks @The_UKLA @MollyHallNEU

Looking forward to connecting with teachers & colleagues today at an @NEUnion @The_UKLA event on Literacy in Primary Classrooms. @ian_cushing & I will be imagining futures of linguistic justice (tho I’ll be the Debby Downer talking about deficit perspectives first!)

Entire news crew wiped out: 2 journalists + 2 cameramen. Killed by Israel which has killed more journalists than died in WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan & Yugoslavia combined.

There are still some tickets for this event in Sept, looks to be a great day. Super excited to hear from our keynotes @jeffreykboakye, @ian_cushing and @SnellJulia!

In Palestine we used to say 'if only the world could see the Nakba of 1948 and the role of Britain in the land theft of Palestine'. We were actually wondering if things would have been different? 77 years later we know the answer. We also see the role of Britain then and now

me and @SnellJulia are so honoured to be doing a keynote here, called 'imagining futures of linguistic justice', where we will critique existing harms and speculate about more equitable futures 💜

me and @SnellJulia are doing a joint keynote at this UKLA/NEU conference, talking about futures of linguistic justice and designing linguistically just schools 💜 eventbrite.co.uk/e/literacy-in-…

And thanks to @ian_cushing for feedback on an early draft and for general encouragement, collegiality and inspiration!
