My paper, co-authored with Daniel N. Silva, examines students’ reflections on social interactions during a virtual project in relation to neoliberal discourses.

Universities all over Europe are cutting language programs and closing the doors to the world. We want to get a more complete picture: where, when, why?
If you know of any such cases, please tell us (and share the link with your language and linguistics contacts)!

13 years ago, I left Brazil to move to Germany. Now, I’m doing it again—this time from Germany to the UK. On Sunday, my family and I will say “Tschüss” to Berlin and “hello” to Newcastle upon Tyne. I can’t get enough of ‘interculturality,’ apparently! 😅
