Whew! Just made the ICA 2026 deadline right under the wire. Wondering what kind of "conference submitter" everyone else is... 1️⃣ Also a last minute champ 🏆 2️⃣ I submitted mine 2 weeks ago 🤓🗓✔️ 3️⃣ Neither! ((Comment below!)) ⬇️ 📊 Show results

My favorite part about being a discourse analyst is exactly this. It's nice to have labels for things we notice but can't quite pinpoint...and then feel validated that it's not just me overthinking but an actual 'thing' that has been documented as happening routinely.

Me ready to destroy a presenter with a tough question (jk!). In all seriousness, I had the best time at @lansi2024.bsky.social sharing about @francescaorfw.bsky.social my upcoming book, "Race talk in institutional settings: A language and social interaction perspective" and learning from others!
