On the front line of the redundancy crisis in UK higher education: “I found myself sobbing every time I came into the office. It felt unimaginable that an intellectual project into which so many people had invested so much of their lives would simply fade away” #AcademicSky #EduSky

Sad news from the linguistics community: the great sociolinguist William Labov has died at age 97 languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=67399

submitted 72 days ago • 5 comments

Yesterday, we lost William Labov, a foundational figure in sociolinguistics. In his Abralin Talk, Labov reflected on a lifetime of scholarship that has mentored generations and advanced the pursuit of social equity through linguistics.

Academic Ignorance and Black Intelligence by Labov made a big impact on me. Published on The Atlantic in 1972. You can sense his generosity & conviction by making his ideas so accessible and by challenging linguists to debunk language fallacies, & y’know, racism. www.theatlantic.com/past/issues/...

there is no empirical relationship between a teacher's accent and their ability to teach. but there is a long-standing ideological relationship which frames non-dominant and non-standardised accents as signs of imagined pedagogical illegitimacy. @bjse.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

over three years we worked closely with a group of English language high school teachers who were committed to anti-deficit practices for combatting language stigma and discrimination. this article documents their efforts and describes what became possible: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

‘oracy’ is a hot topic in England’s education system. in this article i critique the deficit thinking which lies at the core of how oracy was first theorised, how those ideologies continue today, and the flawed theory of social justice which often accompanies it.🔓 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
