No idea if my interview made the cut, but in a brilliant bit of casting you can definitely hear Stewart Lee on the Birmingham Surrealists 11:30am tomorrow @BBCRadio4 with @ruth_millington https://t.co/UbPh60YftF @ISSS_Surrealism @agstudies @BM_AG @brumculture @BirminghamWeAre

Looking forward to receiving and reading your books!

Applications are open for an open-ended Lectureship in Chinese (LTS track) at the University of Glasgow, with a focus on Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL). This post will support exciting plans to develop Chinese to degree level in the School

Very pleased to pass on an invitation from Professor Bernie O’Rourke to the launch of an interactive app for language learning and use, at 5.30-8pm on Thursday 22 May at the UofG Advanced Research Centre https://t.co/WiKjhFbIsI https://t.co/rwpvOO2but

We’re off! Intro to the 18th @UofGlasgow L&T Conference from Assistant VP Wendy Anderson @glasgowunisrc VP Ed Heri Busquier Cerdán. Emphasis on ways in which student population has changed – paid work, registered disabilities, caring – and on staff-student partnership working.

Continuing our trial of offering mindfulness and meditation sessions for @UofGSMLC students with a qualified colleague from @UofGSport - SMLC students see email for details.

Almost two years since the passing of Jim (James) Shields, a Glasgow alumnus and legendary teacher & scholar at @warwickuni @AstonUniversity An honour to join others who knew & worked with Jim in this podcast to mark the occasion, led by Brian Sudlow

Today’s AMLUK briefing from Caroline Lynch about the situation @cardiffuni was as impressive as the plans are unclear and damaging, not to say absurd (a School of Global Humanities with no languages degrees). Petition https://t.co/scPJry4ddD #mfltwitterati @cardiffmlang

'A nine year old girl not of Haitian descent had come nearly 60 miles with her parents to be able to communicate with her new neighbours.' Powerful stuff in this piece about a Haitian Creole language and culture programme @WebsCorneille @HaitianProgram

A huge career highlight to be a Head of School at @UofGlasgow and it's not over yet. But my term ends this year & the ad is up for a new HoS, in one of the most supportive HEIs for langs with fantastic students & staff going places https://t.co/KbsAcWN5zs https://t.co/Nm4zxsNoI4

It's nice to be in touch with students and staff again after the break, and to have welcomed Dr Maya Feile Tomes as she joins SMLC Glasgow via Cambridge and @UFPR in Brazil https://t.co/oFvsFRXB0J @UofGSMLC

If you can sing mass karaoke in different languages, you have nothing to fear in your oral exams. Students, it made us happy to see you happy at last night's biggest ever (200) @UofGSMLC Christmas event. Thanks for the beautiful venue to staff @GUUnion & our own Teresa Newman

An inspiring set of 10 different Impact projects from @UofGSMLC researchers today, shared with a full room of staff & PGRs. Also interesting relationally, working not only as colleagues but as people, with values & expertise, who want to make a difference in areas they care about

I was stuck for a musical intro to today's lecture on culture & national histories. Last night's excellent @tenementals gig introduced me to this song written 1933 in German in a concentration camp, a Republican Spanish Civil War anthem, still circulating https://t.co/sURZAo46rq

Bravo to pupils at @Paisley_Grammar for their brilliant projects at today's languages showcase & to Miss Gallacher & staff. Great energy for languages. A pleasure to be a guest with colleagues from HE, Education Scotland, SCILT. @Mlegazpi22 @CedMoreau @ShonaHugh @SheenaSCILT

Now filming outside the Hetherington Building, 'SMLC The Movie'. Cover for a secret production, according to the rumours a major film starting with 'R' and ending in 'Unning Man'.

Proud of students in @UofGSMLC and the Glasgow Erasmus Student Network putting on a Languages Cafe 6-9pm Monday 18 November (SMLC students, see email for details). Good opportunity to use languages, especially ahead of speaking exams, and meet people.

Waiting for the benefits of Brexit.

Applications are open for a new open-ended Research & Teaching Lectureship in Text/Image Studies at @UofGSMLC University of Glasgow. The post is supported by the generosity of the late Dr Peter Davies https://t.co/FwKxIGineG @UofGSMC @UofGArtsHums
