Podcasting for justice in linguistics courses
Podcasting for justice in linguistics courses
Podcasts are an immensely popular medium for news, documentaries, interviews, and many other genres. They are also an effective pedagogical tool, both as texts for learners to consume and as assignments for students to create. In this article we present findings from our students' experiences of creating podcasts in upper-level Language and Gender courses and reflect on the affordances and possible risks of this kind of project. We argue that pod…

Pronouns and social justice in the linguistics classroom
My introductory Linguistics course was for many years shaped by the field’s distaste for social justice issues such as cisheterosexism, racism, colonialism and ableism. Like many other linguists, I concentrated my teaching on the core formal subfields. This essay considers how the colonial roots of Linguistics have shaped the field and my teaching, and reflects on my efforts to integrate social justice concerns into my teaching, using the changin…
Learning to think like linguists
A key learning outcome for undergraduate linguistics courses is for students to learn to reason scientifically about language. This article presents the findings from a think-aloud study of undergraduates in an introductory linguistics course who were in the process of learning linguistic reasoning about phonology. I describe the students’ developing concepts and make recommendations for instructors to help students develop fully formed linguisti…
Elites and Statebuilding
Since 1948 over 67 UN peace operations have been deployed to support post-conflict transitions. Bringing substantial resources to monitor military ceasefires and to address humanitarian needs, these operations have increasingly also deployed resources to spur democratic governance and institutional development. The end of the Cold War triggered a dramatic expansion of these interventions as the balance of power has given way to an increasingly fr…
Lactic Acid Fermentation, Urea and Lime Addition
In this research, three faecal sludge sanitizing methods-lactic acid fermentation, urea treatment and lime treatment-were studied for application in emergency situations. These methods were investigated by undertaking small scale field trials with pit latrine sludge in Blantyre, Malawi. Hydrated lime was able to reduce the E. coli count in the sludge to below the detectable limit within 1 h applying a pH > 11 (using a dosage from 7% to 17% w/w, d…
Practicing Safe Computing
Although firms are expending substantial resources to develop technology and processes that can help safeguard the security of their computing assets, increased attention is being focused on the role people play in maintaining a safe computing environment. Unlike employees in a work setting, home users are not subject to training, nor are they protected by a technical staff dedicated to keeping security software and hardware current. Thus, with o…
Syntactic Structure Guides Prosody in Temporarily Ambiguous Sentences
A pair of speaking and listening studies investigated the prosody of sentences with temporary Object/Clause and Late/Early Closure ambiguities. Speakers reliably produced prosodic cues that allowed listeners to disambiguate Late/Early Closure sentences, but only infrequently produced prosody that disambiguated Object/Clause sentences, as shown by the results of listening studies. The two continuations for Object/Clause sentences were not pronounc…
