Some media outlets cheered a recent decree by the transition government in Syria regarding Kurdish language without telling the larger context of colonial oppression. Here is a powerful and historically-aware account of what is going on in #Rojava / #Syrian
Bachtyar Ali, a prominent Kurdish intellectual and The Amargi columnist, explains why Rojava is being targeted from all sides and why it matters as an anti-fascist political project.

So sad to hear about the passing of Deb Cameron!
One of the brightest, most incisive and most fun voices in sociolinguistics.
She will be sadly missed!
If you want to honor her by re-reading some of her work, this old post is still worth a read: www.languageonthemove.com/language-lie...

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term “language shift”? What are the circumstances that lead to the extinction of a language, and how can we participate in its protection and survival? The @uni-hamburg.de invites you to the LiDS Lunch Lecture with Dr. Hannah Sarvasy

Today I attended the one lecture on opportunities and obstacles in the career entry for refugee professionals in Germany at @uni-hamburg.de
There is still so much to be done and the structural hurdles that the country establishes benefits nor the labor force nor the people who are willing to work.

#OTD 98 years ago, William Labov (1927-2024) was born 🥳 He was a pioneering sociolinguist studying language variation, dialectology, but also AAVE. In 1966, Labov published his landmark study "The Social Stratification of English in New York City".

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.

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