LinkedIn is wild. Who's going to break the news to the conversation analysts that no-one has yet studied um conversation?

Excellent news for all and especially current doctoral students who want to see the range of how a thesis can be done

Dichotomies&challenges: an excellent plenary roundtable at #cadaad2026 reflecting on how CDS is developing with @proftaylor.bsky.social @dimitrisrf.bsky.social & Encarnacion Hidalgo-Tenorio in conversation with @laurafilardollamas.bsky.social

Looking forward to catching up, meeting and learning at #cadaad2026. Just one more train journey to go

Here is @proftaylor.bsky.social giving us the dull facts about migration in the UK and anything but dull analysis of 'emotion talk' ( @corpusling.bsky.social )in migration debates

I really appreciated the opportunity to talk in this format. It would be great to see this at conferences too

BREAKING: in May 2026, *every single one* of the 599 refugees admitted in the U.S. were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,665 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else. For reference, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees in 2024.

New publication led by Paige Johnson where we point to the staticity of curated stories about migration compared to other forms of online storytelling. An excellent way to end a busy teaching year! #goodprojectswithgoodpeople Regimenting migrant storytelling benjamins.com/catalog/ip.0...

I see the University of York is offering a fixed-term post in public history for the same salary (£37k) I earned for a fixed-term post in public history, also in Yorkshire, in 2012. Had the rate risen with inflation it would now be £53k.

Would this be Frontiers previously-classed-as-predatory journals?

Worth a read. My take is that universities are undervaluing the importance of the external which makes the system vulnerable. EEs receive less time & information than previously and the work done by EEs is +/- ignored by the 'sending' institution www.timeshighereducation.com/depth/extern...

Please find below all information to nominate wonderful researchers in language, gender and sexuality.

When will this crisis get any attention whatsoever!? A THOUSAND ACADEMIC STAFF AT ONE INSTITUTION SERVED REDUNDANCY RISK NOTICES! And that's not counting what's surely being visited on professional services staff too. This is an economic catastrophe, to say nothing of the intellectual catastrophe!

GB News now broadcasting calls to remove the ethnic minority MPs from parliament

Very proud of this paper which is based on work by three brilliant MA students here at Sussex. They were an exceptional team to lead and they all learnt so much about how to do research by doing research
