After a hiatus in research, I am going back to academia as a PhD candidate in Hamburg Universität.

Sociolinguistics, queer studies & migration.

Colombian-German currently researching integration of Latinx nurses in Germany.

🌈
Yesterday at @uni-hamburg.de , we had the opportunity to see the result of a two-month analysis of literacy exams in Germany, resulting in the Language Skills and Self-Assessment - LiDS Lunch Lecture.

Introducing this week’s reading 🤗

Today, watching the lecture Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation with Prof. Dr. Ingrid Piller. It’s inspiring to see where this work had led to not only the creation of responsible research communities but has also generated impact on the lives of participant and language perception.

Wishing to go back to those days in May.

That moment when your theoretical framework gets a bit extended and for a second you forget what your topic is under so much abstraction 🫠

I just found a comment from my professor about one of my articles coming from a predatory website.

It’s not like I had used that same article to form one of my core concepts in my theoretical framework 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

Great news coming from South America!

It’s still kind of sad that we have to commemorate people who stand for democracy and we still cannot take it for granted.

We have a long way before us 💪

I also purchased a subscription to @babelzine.bsky.social this week to change a bit of format. Let me know if you have an issue or article you recomend :)

Today, it was time to reflect on intercultural care; sometimes, we are so engaged with the idea of mediating with the culture of the patient, while the caregiver seems overshadowed. It is not a matter of which is more important, but one to understand why some (caring) actions are taken for curing.

As a non-programmer, this gave me hope to think about the possibility of approaching this field from my curious perspective on language development and how I might have a stronger base than I thought.
