Congratulations!!

Oh, thanks, Emily! Love having you as my colleague

Thank you for sharing this important information

February 11: Diane Lillo-Martin (@dclm.bsky.social) (University of Connecticut/Yale University) will present on The Truth about Sign Language Acquisition, in collaboration with ASL and Deaf Studies in Penn’s Department of Linguistics. For more information: wolfhumanities.upenn.edu/events/lillo...

I’d have been very interested, but unfortunately it’s not possible for me at that time. Hope it goes well!

Shall I include that horse that is partially a stick figure?

What a nice suggestion. I won’t manage it every page but you have inspired me to add a conceptual figure

The targeting of immersion schools points changing racial logic. Under neoliberal multiculturalism the teaching of racialized languages was permissible if done in ways that benefited white people. Under neofascism the very idea of racialized languages being taught in school is being criminalized.
