This article on #LOTE has long been a passion project of mine. I can’t express how grateful I am to the brilliant Sarah Sharpe at JISS/Aberdeen for making time/space for (as I was then) unaffiliated ECRs to develop their research and make that idea a thing. jiss.aberdeenunipress.org/article/411/...
