Proud of students in UofG Modern Languages & Cultures 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.

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 youtube.com/watch?v=FaCKKM…

An inspiring set of 10 different Impact projects from UofG Modern Languages & Cultures 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

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) UofG Modern Languages & Cultures Christmas event. Thanks for the beautiful venue to staff Glasgow University Union & our own Teresa Newman

Today’s AMLUK briefing from Caroline Lynch about the situation Cardiff University was as impressive as the plans are unclear and damaging, not to say absurd (a School of Global Humanities with no languages degrees). Petition change.org/p/save-mlang-a… #mfltwitterati Modern Languages
