Sad to hear that Deborah Cameron has passed (at a rather young age at that). She was highly influential in the field of sociolinguistics and discourse analysis, and was one of the first people I read early on who helped draw attention to criticality in discourse. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Why choose a graduate degree in Applied Linguistics @TeachersCollege? Our students say it best! @hilaryanneyarger #gradschool #appliedlinguistics #TESOL #altesolstudents

Advice to grad students: “I would say make sure to go to many conferences and participate in data sessions and academic discussions so that you learn by doing and not just reading.”-Brian Due, U of Copenhagen #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social

“I also started acting as an expert witness in ‘hate speech’ cases against neo-fascist groups. I had to analyze their messages to show hatred and contempt towards various marginalized groups.” #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @lingsocam.bsky.social @linguistlist.bsky.social @ica-lsi.bsky.social

When we ask for something big—time, effort, money—do we hedge against rejection or assume success? With @gio-rossi.bsky.social & Tanya Stivers, we find that people are incurably optimistic, even though big requests often meet resistance. Published open access in @socquarterly.bsky.social. #EMCA

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.

“…not because I was interested in repair specifically, but because it turned out to be a great window into a lot of interesting interactional work that would be difficult to study otherwise." -Galina Bolden Rutgers University #HumansOfLANSI #lansi2025 @iscaupdates.bsky.social
