The effects of the proposed cull of languages provision at the University of Nottingham and the University of Leicester will be massive: for the wonderful staff, for current students, and for future budding linguists. Esp those who, like me, come from working-class backgrounds in the East Midlands.
Staggering harm is being done to #language learning in Higher Ed. No oversight or strategic thinking, with cold spots now present. Petitions alone this week in response to closures:

Getting ready to go to Corpus Linguistics in Birmingham #CL2025 next week! Will be presenting the paper I've written with @mathewingram.com and Isolde van Dorst. We've compared patients' and health care providers' discourses in chronic pain consultations, using a corpus-assisted DA approach.

My colleagues and I have just wrapped up the selection procedure (some admin notwithstanding) for a PhD project about birth care communication, which I will start supervising after the summer. I am really excited, and grateful that @uantwerpen.be provides a starting grant to all new professors

De orthomoleculaire trend is er zo eentje bij ik echt met pijn in het hart aanschouw, na jaren geleden al onderzoek te hebben gedaan naar hoe dit soort supplementenbedrijven hun communicatie vormgeven om zo medisch en klinisch mogelijk te klinken, vaak ook met een koloniaal oriëntalistisch tintje.

On my way to Ghent to teach a guest lecture to advanced economic English students. I will talk about corporate determinants of health, and how professional and corporate voices participate and co-construct understandings of health and illness in our society.

at times I still miss my former Ghent office (both the people and the location) because whenever we had the first bit of spring weather (like today), we went out to get ice cream, and there were plenty of great options nearby. The Antwerpen campus is also nice, but sadly no ice cream opportunities 😭

Introducing my new project… Your Wrong (yourwrong.co.uk). It’s all about the language rules and judgements that appear in different forms of popular culture. Films, series, podcasts, music, books, even graffiti!
I’d love your help to find examples!

So happy to reactivate our Breastfeeding Interaction Group, with lovely collaborators @emdoesca.bsky.social, Julia Katila and Amanda Bateman. It's been a very slow collaboration because it's a side project for all of us, while juggling academic life and young parenthood for three of us.

After 7 months of post-editing and finalising transcription, my chronic pain corpus is finally ready for corpus analysis! It's been a ride! But so happy to be on it with @mathewgillings.bsky.social and Isolde van Dorst! Now on to analyses and then writing.

Going through the proofs of an article that has been properly language-edited, which is love, because I feel proofreading nowadays often just is a quick check of the references and a few other formal requirements. But also so sad to see all my Oxford commas deleted 😭

Interesting study by the NGO Transport and Environment. There's many countries that I haven't visited by train, but I do try to travel by train as much as possible. And I love trains, they have been some important for me personally and historically.

Voor @groene.nl maakte ik de klimaatbalans op. Ik mag niet te veel angst zaaien, maar vrolijk word je er niet van www.groene.nl/artikel/de-b...
Zelfs wie oog houdt voor de lichtpuntjes, ziet dat het beroerde weken waren voor het klimaat
De totale wereldwijde CO2-uitstoot was vorig jaar hoger dan ooit, Shell boekte een overwinning in de rechtszaal en Trump won de Amerikaanse verkiezingen. Het is een greep uit het slechte klimaatnieuws...

My first real post here, and a sad one already, unfortunately.
Today there is a national demonstration in The Hague, the Netherlands, because of the announced budget cuts in Dutch higher education. The new government wants to cut €1.3 billion, and reverse earlier internationalisation efforts.

So, I have moved here -from the platform-that-must-not-be-named-, because I miss and want to continue having the lovely conversations about language and/or health research, and all things academia, such as academic diversity and inclusion and academic parenthood.
