While you're soaking in the knowledge at the LSA Summer Institute, take a break and step into a world of creativity at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art! Located right on the UO campus, this museum is a hidden gem. #JordanSchnitzerMuseum #lsasummerinstitute2025

Here's what linguistics experts think about the recent executive order declaring English as the official language of the US (spoiler: they don't think it's a great idea): www.lsadc.org/content.asp?... I'm so proud to be a member of the executive committee of @lingsocam.bsky.social!

Another Elsevier paper with obvious AI-written text. “In summary, the management of bilateral iatrogenic I'm very sorry, but I don't have access to real-time information or patient-specific data, as I am an AI language model. “

"a friendly reminder" never feels friendly and always feels passive agressive!! anyone else!?

My last lecture day of Sociolinguistics (for UGs + Grads) is tomorrow! Topic: Liberatory Linguistics Content to engage with: Hudley 2023, Figueroa 2024 @acharityhudley.bsky.social @meganfigueroa.bsky.social I am excited to field questions from students and let you know how this convo goes!

another terminology conundrum with my Socio students coming from multiple disciplines: Multilingualism and Plurilingualism (a term I've not heard before). It seems that plurilingual refers to the individual user, versus multilingual describes institution/place?

My lab is hiring a postdoc!!! More info is here: www.speechperceptionproductionlab.com/postdoctoral... I'm happy to answer any questions that aren't covered in the ad itself!

I'm having my Socio class and my Neuro seminar both read this!!

¡New publication! Language development, linguistic input, and linguistic racism doi.org/10.1002/wcs.... I discuss how the way we approach linguistic input in the study of language development is an example of linguistic racism. #linguistics #language #devpsych

the definition being, "understanding of the social, political, and ideological aspects of language," to me, is pretty much an acknowledgement, and I am struggling to figure out how it is a framework... and also the term in terms of definition seems potentially synonymous with sociolinguistics..

I have students in my UG/grad mixed Sociolinguistics class, from multiple fields, and they have been bringing up Critical Language Awareness (CLA), which I haven't been faced with til now... and upon researching it myself so that I can engage with them, I am left wondering what the point is?

so many students of mine found inspiration for their final projects in Language and Power from the concept of "Linguistic Care Work" (detailed by Dr. Kirby Conrod on an LSA webpage) - you make such incredible impact @kirbyconrod.bsky.social and we're grateful for your work!

I got through all my bullet points in therapy today. YAY!

Did you know that I created a database of marginalized scholars in language? Check it out here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... #linguistics #language

Reading has been difficult for me since getting COVID in mid-September. I hope to get back into it soon for my mental health’s sake.

feeling very satisfied and powerful with my *empty work inbox* and *empty gmail inbox*

Excited to welcome everyone to the first semi-hybrid BUCLD! #BUCLD48 @bostonu.bsky.social

today's focus was Social Media in my Language and Power class. My "tw1tter" slide needed all the changes from last year. We also discussed @lgospeak! I wanted to figure out how to bring in bsky wasn't didn't have a clear linguistic throughline before class.

overheard at Eugene Airport "masking should be illegal" ...

have not traveled for thanksgiving in a few years - very grateful to be "buying" these flights with credit card points cuz my god...

I just want to say I am so happy with the new innovation of parking calculator for Eugene Airport!

only eight more lectures to prepare for Language and Power... time flies!

dang, my thursday mornings are just 9-1pm back to back student meetings straight! Truly nuts! Enjoy them so much - I am looking forward to this little lunch break before teaching @ 2 though!

One for #linguistics!

We're happy to join the Bluesky community! At Reviewer Zero, we are working to reimagine peer review to be more equitable and inclusive. How would you change the current peer review system to improve diversity and inclusion in science? We share some of our ideas here osf.io/e7z5k/

taking a breath and getting clear on what's easy to say no to nowadays, for my peace - rather than trying to contort myself to fit everything in.

omg @ethankutlu.bsky.social VOICE lab!? I adore!

Ok I finished the slides and I am actually so pleased and proud of them :) docs.google.com/presentation...

I will be on campus in nonstop activities from 830am to 5pm tomorrow... Thursdays are so exhausting!

My lecture tomorrow is on Languages of the African Diaspora. I have been dealing with major health issues across the week and haven't been able to give the lecture the energy and attn I wanted to.. I had an envisioned this amazing inclusive talk. It will be as good as can be day before creating it..

just said no to an invited talk - which feels like a shift in the career. Way back when, I was ready to say yes to everything, and build that CV however possible. Now, life demands require other things from me, and I can't travel like I once did! Wild shift.

Is something wrong with me because I refuse to accept meetings after 5pm and on weekends? I am the only one on a thread that said none of that would work for me and I am feeling pretty isolated for making things "more complicated" now for meetings...

There are children having a blast running in the hall outside LeFrak. And so I want to remind NWAV51 the quote from Oregon State U professor Melissa Cheney “if we expect women to be in academe, we have to expect children will be also.” Hooray for the linguists who have brought their families.

I have been working with a writing consultant to develop a writing practice, so that I can eventually get writing done for work. He only requires 2-10 minutes a day, everyday. I've missed maybe three days since I started a few weeks ago - but I'm literally at 13 pages single spaced !? proud of me
