Genocide destroys language just as it destroys life and land. It kills thinking and transformational thought. This destruction is everywhere. But the human spirit has to find a way- as it always does. What now?

Hospicing Gaza ( غزة ) - A piece we should never have had to write. Scholarship when every hope is gone and out of the failure of our disciplines We invite you to read our piece again @khawlabadwan.bsky.social @uofgunescorila.bsky.social

Our article is now fully published in volume 25 (6) and open access after online publication early in 2026 It was the most read paper in the journal in 2025 @khawlabadwan.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

‘They wanted to build a pier For aid, they said For ease of access, they said They wanted to build a pier Made of the rubble of our homes Mixed with blood, limbs and bones They wanted to build a pier ….’

We invite you again to this urgent yet daunting work which introduces a scholarship of heartbreak through stunned languaging. The most read piece in Language & Intercultural Communication. A beginning, a trouble. A call, a response. A rethinking www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When words are said, ignored and absented, they demand to be said again and again for as long as the night lasts. On language in times of immense suffering...

The language issue at the heart of Gaza is where thought that has failed and academic disciplines and organisations that have been unable to articulate the evidence of their own eyes will be and is being remade. Out of Ashlaa.

Gaza is a language issue at heart. A key issue for the reluctant discipline of Applied Linguistics whose broken premise is about the use and abuse of language in the 'real world'. Tribute to Gaza, humanity's eternal heartbreak

Look again..

It's the age of p.e.a.c.e.

Just wait.. This cannot be a new year.. yet

On this day we remember where the story began In Palestine PALESTINE that is the world and through her we continue to see the world

Behold the angry sky Let the reckoning be

"On the 77th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights We remember the years before the rights were named, and the people who are still denied them" #Gaza #Palestine #HumanRightsDay

On #language from behind the line that marks the death world in #Gaza. Listen.. Just listen It is the wisdom from behind the line

On languaging burnt lands and broken contracts, between words and worlds: a wordsmithery of struggle from the rubble

A future in which we survived this co-struggle shimmers in this poem by @khawlabadwan.bsky.social “One day that's not here yet we will use the past tense announcing the fall of this evil We shall teach our children how humanity survived…”
