Jackie Jia Lou reminds us of the transformative crisis we have ALL been through, albeit with disparate vulnerabilities and outcomes, in her moving plenary, "On crisis and creativity: Remaking linguistic landscape in turbulent times" #LL16 #LinguisticLandscape

At #LL16, you can hear a pin drop as Jackie Lou talks us through the crisis and creativity of COVID-19 in a beautiful and deeply personal reflection, bringing us back to discourse in place as a bedrock of #linguisticlandscape research

Day 2 of #LL16 in Essen opens with Jackie Jia Lou. #linguisticlandscape

Since losing my father to Covid-19 in Shanghai in January 2023, I’ve been reflecting a great deal on silence, void, and their relationship to memory and trauma in research and personal projects.

An inspiring half-day of following the Central/Red Line from John Rickford's lecture at QMUL to Woven Threads Workshop during Birkbeck Arts Week organised by Simone Wesner. So many different modes and modalities to explore in research and life!

Thank you #LL16! 🥰

Our Chevening Scholar from Burma gifted me with these delicious packets of 'laphet thoke' (tea leaf salad), and I've been adding it to everything! If you'd like to support ongoing earthquake relief on the ground, please contact: 1. www.instagram.com/laphetwyne/ 2. www.facebook.com/edulingottlc

Wish I could be there!
