Micheál Hearty and I presented the preliminary findings of the ESF-funded project "Piecemeal Peacebuilding and The Trajectory of Discourse: Linguistic Rights in Post-Conflict North of Ireland/Northern Ireland" at the #SLSA2025, looking at how peace agreements in NI have shaped linguistic justice.

Delighted to have presented my and Mattia Zeba's paper on new inclusive approaches to linguistic justice in the @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social 2025 conference! So nice to connect with a rich community of amazing scholars!

Now Mordi is cheering me up and giving me extra cuddles to make up for my deferral.

📣 Participants needed again for our MES-AIS project! ➡️www.qub.ac.uk/sites/mes/

We have asked EU nationals to share their stories and now we are looking to hear what NI employers and sector representatives have to say on the labour market post-Brexit!

Please share this!🙏

Home is where Paco The Grumpy Cat is.
Happy holidays, fellow #academics. Please, shut down those laptops and find a pet to cuddle, you deserve some rest!
And lots of love and support to those for whom the holiday season is hard. You can do this!

It was an incredibly enriching experience
