This has been a long time in the making, but glad it is finally out there in the world. I'm hugely grateful to everybody who contributed to & helped with my episode. A big thanks too to the FreshEd team for making the Flux Fellowship 2023-2024 a great learning experience!

Super interesting presentation from Camilo Tamayo Gomez: new models of transnational justice from below and the need for new socio-communicative regimes in post conflict Colombia.

Great to hear Abril Ríos-Rivera present her work again. Having seen an exhibition previously, it’s fascinating to hear the “backstage” of this important work.

Thank you to Cherilyn Elston for inviting us to contribute to her panel WISPS. Adriana Patino & I enjoyed sharing our recent project on Family Memory from a #sociolinguistic perspective and hearing more about Cherilyn & Mariana’s work #MakingSpacesForMemory

Families who dance together, remember together Adriana Patino #UoSArtsHumFest
