The Politics of Ethics in Sociolinguistics Introduction: (Re)Imagining Ethics in Sociolinguistics
In an age of proliferating protocols and public moral anxieties, this Dialogue asks what sociolinguistics becomes when ethics is treated not as protocol but as relational practice. Contributions rework ethical obligation across three strands of thought: an ethics of responsibility after Levinas and Derrida, decolonial and Indigenous relational accountability and anti‐universalism, and posthuman/new materialist accounts of ethical entanglement. Ac…
Coda: On the Politics of Ethics
This coda rereads the contributions to the Politics of Ethics Dialogue as an occasion for collectively rethinking ethics in sociolinguistics. Rather than offering a summary of each text, it traces how questions of responsibility, relation, listening, refusal and form emerge across the collection in different but connected ways. In doing so, it suggests that ethics cannot be reduced to procedure, moral certainty or correct position‐taking but appe…
Ethical events in the internationalising university: Engaging, Learning and Knowing in Spaces of Otherwise
This paper suggests that a sociolinguistics of potentiality is an "ethical" sociolinguistics that will grapple with the difference of others. Drawing on a linguistic ethnography of Social Sciences classrooms in a Swedish university, it illuminates how students and teachers work to foster improved sociality and mutual responsibility across social and linguistic difference in internationalising university life. The paper develops through a consider…
Language, hospitality, and internationalisation: Exploring university life with the ethical and political acts of university administrators
Drawing on the ethico-political framework of hospitality, this paper investigates the communicative practices of three administrative support staff as they attempt to manage the twin challenges of working in adherence to state and institutional language policies while communicating ethically in an internationalising workplace. Academic administrative staff rarely feature in studies on internationalisation yet are crucial to understanding the comp…
P29 Out of control? Experiences of transitions between care settings at the end of life for older adults with heart failure: A qualitative study
Background Transitions between care settings have been associated with poor continuity and quality of care for older people. Movements between places of care occur frequently in the months before death, making them an important influence on well-being and health status. People with heart failure may be particularly likely to experience frequent, unplanned admissions to hospital. Objective To explore and understand experiences of care transitions …
The History of the Brookhaven National Laboratory Project in Archaeological Chemistry, and Applying Nuclear Methods to the Fine Arts
This paper traces the events leading up to the formation of a project in 1954, in the Chemistry Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory, dedicated to the application of those new developments that were rapidly transforming postwar nuclear science to the parallel humanistic disciplines of archaeology and the fine arts. The further evolution of this effort involved the enlightened support of the Department of Energy (then AEC and ERDA) coupled…
Preliminary Provenance Research on Chinese Neolithic Pottery: Huating (Xinyi County) and Three Yellow River Valley Sites
Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) was applied to sherds from the important site of Huating and, for comparison, several Neolithic sites in the valley of the Yellow River. We hoped to compare the compositions of two stylistically different ceramics found at Huating, and to evaluate the degree of compositional clustering and inter‐site resolution that could be expected in an area that is noted for its extensive, and possibly very homo…
