Among the terrible things in my workplace is a proposal to disestablish languages and linguistics. We’re a regional university serving a regional community—this risks language study at university level for students over a really wide area.
If you work in languages or linguistics, especially in Australia, please consider supporting my hardworking colleagues who are fighting back with a petition. Time is pressing, and boosts are welcome.
