Students should study the humanities not because it makes them better workers but because it rips you open and breaks your brain and changes everything you thought you knew. I *promise* you this. I *promise* it has this ability, no matter how smart you think you are. I have seen it countless times.

On my blog back in 2020 I wrote in passing about the expression ‘preaching to the converted’ & I’ve thinking about it again & about finding chambers where can hear echoes of those we need to hear 💜 feministkilljoys.com/2020/12/07/c...

Happy National Linguistics Day! I love doing linguistics because language is everywhere, and we use it both to make sense of and shape the world around us. Check out the piece I wrote earlier this year for The Conversation on thingamajigs🙂 theconversation.com/whatchamacal... #NationalLinguisticsDay

Fully-funded Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarship at Southampton Digital Humanities in "Queer Data and Resilience" with my ✨ colleagues Lexi Webster and Kristen Schuster. Full details at pirs.soton.ac.uk/apply/. Deadline 31 January. Do please pass on to any amazing MA students you know.

Just got an email from the zombie journal soliciting my submissions so I thought I'd remind everyone that in 2015 the entire editorial board of "Lingua" resigned and created a new independent OA journal (Glossa). Don't submit to the new Lingua. slate.com/human-intere...

Jonathan Rosa and I had the amazing opportunity to work with an undergraduate student and a high school student to "translate" our "Undoing Appropriateness" article for high school students. The final product is available for free here: demystifyinglanguage.fordham.edu/articles/lan...

Very excited to be talking to the folks at the Animating Text series at Newcastle University, about generative AI and Chaucer (two things I never thought would be in the same sentence 🫠) - it's free and online, you can register below!

Now that it’s all confirmed, I’m excited to be staying on at Uni of Sheffield’s Digital Humanities Institute for another three years as an RA! I’ll be continuing research in machine assisted scholarly editing and Chaucer studies 🤩📜👩‍💻

My first post on here, and it’s dedicated to my evening reading: a mystery fiction book headed by a queer, chain-smoking, punk rock nun. It feels good getting lost in different stories post-PhD!

If you would like to support us, there will be a petition to sign very soon, and in the meantime if you're in a linguistics department or organisation, or you're a former student, please do write to my VC to express your feelings.

For the second time in nine months, I find myself at risk of redundancy as University of Kent proposes to cut nine subjects, including Linguistics, affecting 58 staff. If you have a magic solution to this please do let me know. t.co/wH6P0K2G7x
