#Ecolinguistics and #cognitivelinguistics followers: does anyone know of any Greek-speaking researchers working on or interested in (non-literary) language, cognition and the environment? I’d be grateful if you could point them in my direction for a potential funding/project opportunity.

Yet more cuts at Coventry University. They’re cutting the English literature and language BA, & by the looks of it most if not all of the modern languages staff. Dismal. @ucu.org.uk

Our new podcast, Plastic: Unwrapped, is available now! I had so much fun making this for the Off the Shelf festival. Three 20-minute episodes, unwrapping our relationship with one of the most ubiquitous and controversial materials on earth. Give it a listen! offtheshelf.org.uk/event/plasti...
