HAPPY LINGUISTICS DAY!🥳🎉🗣️

@lagbling.bsky.social @baal-linguistics.bsky.social @universitypress.cambridge.org and the University of Birmingham are running two competitions in linguistics for ALL UG/PGT/PGR students and ECRs to enter! find details on both competitions below 👇🏽

Good luck! 💸

it’s been a very sad day within our v big, v active (with v strong record of funding!) linguistics/modern languages group at nottingham💔 still just so lost for words at how incredulous this is (esp finding out via an instagram bbc news post & STILL not from uni comms…)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Truly awful news. Ruthless, short-sighted and ill-informed. I remember working at @uniofnottingham.bsky.social about a decade ago and the University taking great pride in being one of the biggest languages departments in the country… Where’s that pride gone?! www.bbc.com/news/article...?

FYI: LAGB Student Event Sponsorship – Applications open until Nov. 15th

hopefully see you later! ☺️

I welcome the UK Government’s commitment to recognise the State of Palestine, but it shouldn’t be subject to conditions.

It must be unequivocal, irreversible and backed by sanctions on Israel.

Israel must agree to a ceasefire now and allow more aid into Gaza to stop starvation.

When I pointed out King’s will lose 90% of its AHRC student-led places under the new scheme, I got piled on by the AHRC Chair claiming I was wrong and scaremongering.

It wasn’t quite 90%.

This year King’s students got 27 AHRC student-led scholarships.

Next year they’re giving us 3.

So 89% then.

SO excited to share our new series on ‘Applying for a PhD in Linguistics’ with Fae @lagbpsc.bsky.social @lagbling.bsky.social on all from choosing a project & supervisor to hopefully deciding between offers! Join our first session (07/08) where we’ll explore PhDs in the UK & choosing a supervisor!👇🏽🌟

happening in one hour! come join us for our final ‘careers for linguists’ talk of the series today, 10 July at 16:30 BST. joining details are on our @lagbpsc.bsky.social website! 👇🏽👇🏽

This country is slowing climate action. Its capital city is stepping up As many federal governments slow — or reverse — climate action, Austria's capital, Vienna, wants to show how cities can take the lead.
