if you are an early career academic and interested in bidding for a project which has language, education, and social in/justice as a core theme, then i would be happy to offer some support and advice with this funding scheme!
Reminder! Applications for the UKLA Research Grants are still open. You have until October 31st to apply for up to £3000 of funding for research projects surrounding literacy. This is a great opportunity and not one to be missed!

Good to see our Chief Justice asking this question. Fantastic to have judges writing bilingually and openly promoting the use of our langs in court. @ActionLanguages

It is pleasing to observe Chief Justice Maya, point out the use of previously marginalised official languages in South African courts during the #JSCInterviews with prospective candidate, Judge Mabindla-Boqwana.

We've received some amazing proposals, with exciting connections, but we're hoping for as expansive a discussion as possible, so would love to add more! How does development shape literature? What happens when literary scholars dip a toe in economic waters? Is it all a spiral?
