So nice to see this upcoming event, which connects 2 places that have been central to my academic journey: @AUTh, where I completed my undergraduate degree, and @tcddublin.bsky.social, where I did my M.Phil. on a scholarship through their partnership. #LanguagePedagogy #RefugeeEd #MultilingualEd

How some people claim to be "researching" #linguistics, #Sociolinguistics, #Bilingualism, #multilingualism, #translanguaging (the list goes on!) when even their own thesis does not mention any of these words not even once, is beyond me...🤷‍♀️ #research?
