Now a fun session by Edwin Thomas: Street Slang – a local snapshot. Did you know that „blood“ means „hello“?! Neither did we as you can see from the word cloud by the audience! – at South East, England

Eep :) I have just had ethics approval for a new research project, recruiting a group of young (11-16-year-old) multilingual co-researchers to help shape the overall project, making sure we ask the right questions about what it means to grow up multilingual today. Excited!

"The Stephen Spender Prize is a richly rewarding introduction to all kinds of poets, poems and languages. The principal joy, though, is the sheer enthusiasm for the translation process." 2019 co-judge Margaret Jull Costa's words sum up the awards ceremony yesterday perfectly!

Oxford folks, please come to this event I’ve had a hand in organising (but it’s mainly been @thedr5 and Katrin Kohl @JesusOxford). What to expect? A musical celebration of English & Yoruba, Kolokwa cooking lessons, street slang, language on the borders & more. All are welcome.

From 2016 to 2022: a friendship made through language and art. Sarita and I met in Amer at the cultural centre of her guru. Sarita’s unique voice immediately sparked my interest and when she was touring in Europe I invited her to my dance class.
