Paljon kiitoksia, Helsinki, it was great at #SLE2024! Now all aboard to #ICCG13
People at #SLE2024 be like "Ah well if we don't see each other at the conference dinner, see you on Monday in Sweden"
Akumbu at #SLE2024:
"Universities get overheads, 20%, 40% of the grant goes to the university. We could be writing into our grant applications the same kinds of community overheads, for projects that benefit the community as a whole"
Pius Akumbu, in the roundtable on decolonization in linguistics at #SLE2024:
"If funding agencies are funding an outsider PhD student to do work on a minoritized language, they could also be funding -- and linguists could be pushing for this -- training for a community member in linguistics."
Just saw that others were posting using #SLE2024 instead - Maybe I should switch hashtags 😅
Have arrived in Helsinki for #SLE2024!
Time to see how much Finnish I can pick up in a week...
Any linguists around before the conference and want to get dinner tonight?
