Fully funded (NWO) PhD position opening soon on Multilingualism, Identity and Emotions in Post-migratory Settings. Co-supervised by myself and Hadi Mirvehedi. Come join us at the @unigroningen.bsky.social's Centre for Language and Cognition 💜 email me if you have preliminary questions

There is no such thing as a right to not being bothered by the presence of linguistic difference in the public sphere - no matter if it is a sign language translation, multilingual announcements and signage, or simply people in the bus speaking a language you dislike or don't understand.

My regular suggestion: At the end of the semester why not reach out to someone whose work you taught and let them know? These days we have very little idea who teaches our stuff and in what contexts. It takes almost no time and can really make their day.

“What is it about Louks and her PhD thesis that has driven young, mostly right-wing men to such feral extremes of rage and despair?… The most obvious factor here is her being a young woman … cradling in her arms the fruit not of maternal but of intellectual labour” www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2024...

This is just the beginning :) Who else shall I add?
