Pleased to be in the beautiful (if very hot...) Metz for "Identity Construction and English(es) from the Margins" 🇫🇷

Very lovely queer exhibition on right now at Graves Gallery, Sheffield: "Revolution, Revelation, Reinforcement"

Engaging the public in humanities & social sciences feels more important than ever. So we are offering £8k grants for researchers to work with galleries, libraries, archives, museums or performing arts organisations to do this. Please help spread the word! www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/sche...

I'm looking forward to this conference! Not looking forward to the Kafkaesque nightmare of getting a visa for travel to the UK, but it'll be worth it to hang out with my gender & language folx, some of the most interesting and welcoming scholars you'll find – so join @igala.bsky.social!

Congratulations to our very own Prof. Lucy Jones! Her new book, Language and LGBTQ+ Youth, Analysing Marginalised Identities Through an Intersectional Lens, has been shortlisted for the British Association of Applied Linguistics Book Prize 2026.
