Sign the petition or write to the Vice-Chancellor, but let's keep up the campaign to make languages central to any new Global Humanities faculty at Cardiff www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/card...

Cardiff’s closure of modern languages will tongue-tie its humanities
The global examination of culture is not possible without languages at degree level, say Wendy Ayres-Bennett, Charles Burdett and Emma Cayley

Please consider signing this petition against the deeply short-sighted, ill-advised decision to close yet another Languages department. Less language teachers means a sadder, smaller world🌍🌎🌏

What more will it take for this govt to get off the fence and put proper funding behind one of the country’s most valuable and recognised global assets, rather than being complicit in this insane act of self-harming educational vandalism? www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-u...

Aline Larroyed’s Research Ireland-funded project will build on the crisis translation maturity model (CTMM) co-designed with stakeholders described in our paper by taking a human rights perspective. Aline will further test and refine the CTMM, notably for stakeholders in Ireland and Brazil.

With Pat Cadwell, Sharon O'Brien, Aline Larroyed, we wrote a paper about a model to help organisations achieve better multilingual crisis communication, co-designed with stakeholders from several organisations. We don’t see this model as a final product - it’s something to test / adapt / improve.
