It was an absolute privilege having Dr. Octavian Robinson @deafkilljoy.bsky.social come to our department to give a presentation on Crip Linguistics. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Looking forward to reading many more of his works soon to come 🔥

How do hearing children of Deaf migrant parents experience their multilingual repertoires?

Children of migrant Deaf adults

During my Master of Research (MRes) studies, whenever I met someone new, they would often enquire about what I was doing for my thesis. When I told them, I was doing research with hearing children …

No one needs to be told this, but in policing research there’s this thing called “cop culture” [see Robert Reiner] and part of it is a “thirst for action”. Police inherently want there to be riots and a chase because police work, for the most part, is extremely boring.

...data sharing. This makes it wildly difficult to even think about opening up my ethnographic data for other researchers to access. I'd love to hear other opinions here on BlueSky on the feasibility of sharing ethnographic data, or making it open access, particuarly video data.

Governments love numbers, less interested in qualitative/ethnographic data but the latter are more likely to capture the small details that can have major impact or consequences. They make a valid point in that. For me, as a researcher based in Sweden with its (may I say) crazy restrictions on...

The book focused specifically on their experiences of languaging in everyday life, capturing the ups and downs of language learning, as well as attitudes toward various linguistic repertoires. The authors emphasised the importance of sharing ethnographic data, as to strengthen the numbers.

Written my first book review and what a book it was! "Life in a new language" by Ingrid Piller (@languageonthemove.bsky.social) & 5 other authors captured adult migrants' experiences moving to Australia.

Cannot believe it has already been a year since I successfully defended my PhD! A wonderful day full of memories I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

It's quite jarring to watch. Surprised that it's already being used by the NHS but then again, should I be?

This comic by @adamtots.bsky.social made a while back cannot be more relevant than ever.

A comic strip by Adam Ellis of a man with a MAGA hat shaking hands with a gay man holding a picket that says "Gays agains drag queens". The MAGA man said "We did it! We finally outlawed all the trans people and drag queens! Thanks for your help!", the gay man said "happy to be of service! So, who are we going after next?". The MAGA man has a grin. The gay man asked "I said who's next?". The MAGA man keeps the same grin on. The gay man with a sudden realisation on his face says "Who...". The MAGA man still have the same grin on.

We were actually just talking about this today that it doesn't seem to be safe for travel to the US for DAC. I wasn't planning on going since I have a wedding to attend but now I'm glad I don't have to make that decision on whether I should go or not. It's scary what's happening in the US.

It's a time of morbid symptoms...

Trump has exploited the war in Ukraine to plunder its resources for his own gain. Bending the knee to this man offers no real security—on a whim, he will sacrifice his so-called allies for profit. Irish politicians should boycott the White House.
