Best news of the day! Hoping my PhD fieldwork to #ArnhemLand can still happen at a later date thanks to this extension🤞🏼

The university I work for & study at has been absolutely smashing #COVID19. It has secured all casual work during this period, it has offered 6 month extensions to all HDR students, it has redefined full-time work to 25hrs a week for carers. I’ve never been so proud of ourANU.

A great thing about being in linguistics is... for the first time in my Anglophone life people can more or less pronounce my name right!

PhD confirmation = done! What a relief! THANK YOU friends and colleagues for taking the time to attend and giving me such great feedback and advice. So grateful for the wonderful support and guidance from my supervisory committee 🙏🏼

Free passes are available for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander language workers and students to attend this year's online International Conference on Language Documentation & Conservation (ICLDC) in March! (4th-7th, Hawai'i standard time)

Houston, we have lift off! #skywhales

Houston, we have a problem... #skywhales

Skywhales represent the relationship humans have with nature and it is only in the most serendipitous overlap of all the correct weather conditions that Skywhales can fly. So turns out that’s not today. #Skywhalepapa I hope to see you gracing Canberra’s skies another day!

#ICLDC7 Day 3: Talk Story 1 had so many good points come out of the discussion on language documentation but Elena Benedicto’s stance on the restrictive frameworks and deadlines imposed by academia being a process of “institutions recolonising the communities” is just spot on 🙌🏼

"Dialectal differences and grammatical divergence: A cross-linguistic survey" - manuscript submitted with Henry Leslie-O'Neill and Haoyi Li. Maybe unique as a systematic study of dialect differentiation. Comments most welcome! osf.io/preprints/soca…

Surreal moment seeing my lovely Yolŋu family and Ganalbiŋu language/culture teacher in Canberra - yes Canberra, not Ramingining! Dhapirrk (deadly) performances - buŋgul ga manikay - to re-open the Aboriginal Memorial, relocated to the heart of NationalGalleryAus #ReconciliationWeek
