I’m truly grateful I got to present my research on feel-good literature, ME/CFS recovery discourses, and neoliberalism for the Gloucestershire Philosophical Society yesterday. Great questions kept flowing at the pub and even into my inbox. A powerful (and needed) reminder that my research matters!

#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.

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.
