"For us, at this moment in history, Nowruz is more than just a cultural tradition. It is a unifying force and a symbol of Iranian-ness and unity, with a rich history that predates the current regime." Happy Nowruz!

'Decolonisation is not a passive endeavour; it is an active transformation involving unlearning and relearning new patterns.' Make this reflective piece by @draliaamir.bsky.social your read of the day. #AmReading #decolonisation #DifficultConversations www.soas.ac.uk/study/blog/d...

A new Language-on-the-Move Podcast is out! Ingrid Piller speaks with Jim Hlavac (Monash University) about language barriers and how interpreters work to bridge them. via @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social www.languageonthemove.com/interpreting...

My latest which was written last year but has finally been published. This piece is primarily in the context of the British Raj and the British colonisation of India.

New on Language on the Move: @draliaamir.bsky.social reflects on the importance of Ramadan displays and open iftars in London's linguistic landscape www.languageonthemove.com/happy-ramada...

Happy to chat. One of the things I find fascinating is the balance b/w loss and new learning - the two somehow seem to go together in strange ways.

Our webpage has been updated now. #BAALMtilingualismSIG

I have to agree with @ayeshachari.bsky.social the navigation within our bolis is an emotional journey! ❤️

My latest: The Matrix: Breaking Free with Raciolinguistics from Language #Policing published in the newsletter of the ICIS section of TESOL: “One of the mechanisms which creates hierarchies in the wider society is language policing of language varieties including BIPOC Englishes.”

Happy International Mother Language Day! For my future scholarship in Sociolinguistics, I aspire not to build on the colonial legacies of linguistics, imperial categorisation of languages, and defs of multilingualism and literacy based on western epistemologies.

Great to see that my co-authored article with Alex Grey is now open access 🤩 In it, we introduce law and language research for Australia legal readers. @languageonthemove.bsky.social #linguistics #langsky #commsky

I have decided to host #AcWri hours every Tuesday and Thursday for one hour at 13:00 CET. This space is intended for support and camaraderie rather than a skills development workshop where writers at all stages can find a space to thrive 📚 DM your work email to register!

It's official—I'm excited to announce being elected as one of the committee members for the @MultilingSIG during Dec’s AGM. I look forward to collaborating with fellow members and designing engaging activities. Keep an eye on this space for updates! #Multilingualism #BAAL

As a parent and adult immigrant in a land with English as the dominant language, everything in this piece by @draliaamir.bsky.social is too often on my mind. Watching my 5yo learn, unlearn and navigate multiple bolis is emotional and fascinating all at once. www.languageonthemove.com/what-if-i-lo...

Great to see Dr Alia on Bluesky and so fantastic to have this personal reflection up on Language on the Move

Welcome Alia! Applied Lx and language education folks who follow me should follow her. I had a chance to work alongside her in Sweden, and she provides an insightful multicultural and multilingual perspective in he field.

My first post on the blue sky and I am beyond thrilled to see my personal story on @languageonthemove.bsky.social’s blog!
