I designed a kind of a game for my CDA students on Friday - I have 14 quotes (divided into themes - Brexit, Immigration, Benefits and "Populist quotes") and they'll have to guess who said what. Let's see how they conceptualise what is left of traditional parties' ideas.

🎙️ Don’t miss Shobha Satyanath in conversation with Jaspal Singh in our new Interview Series!
They discuss her work on language variation and change, and why some Western sociolinguistic frameworks fall short in capturing the multicultural fabric of Indian and Guyanese societies.

And how men and other people contributed to this mockering and discrediting.
It becomes overly clear why #MeToo was considered such a threat by powerful men and why they have done everything to mock and discredit it.

While I love all topics I deliver for the module on language, gender and sexuality, the week on identities outside the western binaries is my favourite! Students get to see how gender/sexuality is much bigger than what we see and how much identity work people did in history and nowadays!

In TV interview Italian Foreign Minister Tajani says those protesting for Palestinian rights are "antisemitic daddy's boys attacking the police who are paid a pittance", to which the interviewer replies, "you are the ones who pay them a pittance."
Rare moment for Italian TV. Tajani taken aback.

UK politics completely avoids dealing with the UK HE crisis then stating, in an official statement, "world-beating higher education university sector" in announcing universities will open campuses in India. And let's not even mention colonising put before decolonising.
