@Alex_Grey_ and @AllieSeverin have written about the serious information gap on public communications in languages other than English, especially in urgent situations like the 2019 bushfires and pandemic.

@PhilosophyFails @sarahshulist You conveniently elided empirical humanities, positioning science as the only alternative, its replicabity alone justifying peer review. This art criticism comment totally misses the point about potential value of peer review & real effort put in. You’re adding to the burden.

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

@PhilosophyFails @sarahshulist Hardly. If you’ve ever taken care to help an author improve their communication through review, for eg, that’s quite separate to subjective whims. By the by, there is empirical humanities research too, & serious thought to rigour. Ill-informed to claim that’s only in science.

[Thomas H Bak @thbaketal]

@sarahshulist Also, work that is demanding, time consuming & requiring advanced expertise, yet entirely unrewarded & not paid. Particularly ironic in "open access" journals, where they expect us to work for free *and* pay for publishing in them. With rising number of journals not sustainable!

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

@sarahshulist @GJosephRoche More surprising, to me, is that it’s done for free. Many people are expected to take on key parts of academic publishing, from editing to peer review, to proofing and indexing, let alone the underlying writing, on the arcane assumption that someone else is paying their wage.

[Dr Laura Smith-Khan @LauraSKh]

Really nice to have this short summary of the work Alex and I have been doing together, and the emerging language and law speciality at UTS

@ACharityHudley @LauraSKh @UCSanDiego @GJosephRoche

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

@GJosephRoche Dreadful news. I don’t know what to say either, except that you’re clearly academic to the core & it’s absurd that the sector cannot keep you. Academia is more & more ridiculous each time I step back & look at it but it doesn’t stop one wanting to be a researcher or teacher, eh?!

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

You can DM me if you don’t have access to a library copy. There are also three chapters which have been professionally translated into mandarin available for free thanks to @Lg_on_the_Move & @degruyter_soc .

Delighted to have won the Early Career Research Excellence in Publication “FLARE”
award @UTSLaw for my 2021 book, Language Rights in a Changing China. Worth a read 😉 especially if you’re interested in Chinese society or Chinese law, or minority rights, or linguistic diversity.

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

@GJosephRoche Will be interested to hear about this conference when I next see you (2023?)

[Dr Gerald Roche @GJosephRoche]

Costa: when you engage in language revitalization your are thinking like a state without the resources of the state. It’s a situation that is set up to fail.

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

Interesting to hear origins of this book https://t.co/T3icKAmuLn, progress in legal practice in recent decades & room for huge further improvements in recognising many more people's experiences of harms that are international crimes & should be prosecuted.

@UTSIntLaw @UTSLaw @BiberKatherine That’s wonderful news, @BiberKatherine. I know you take pride in your outfits so I will add that I love your top in the photo ;)

[Daany Saeed @daanysaeed]

Another real pleasure to work on. I’ve followed Dr Smith-Khan’s work for a very long time, so to write this up was lovely. Congratulations! @LauraSKh

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

@LauraSKh @Lg_on_the_Move @mary_crock @DanGhez @UTSLaw Thanks for the thanks, @LauraSKh, you're inclusive & caring through & through! More than happy to support you. Hard not to be motivated by your talent & passion.
I'm sure our whole Law & Linguistics Interdisciplinary Researchers' Network is proud of you! https://t.co/iTEWAcvdtH

[Alex Grey @Alex_Grey_]

REALLY EXCEPTIONAL! I'm so excited for Laura & for the attention I hope it brings to her applied, meaningful humanities research on justice & multilingualism.
+ I implore others to amplify @LauraSKh's news: colleagues and uni media ppl don't always realise how important that is.

[Dr Laura Smith-Khan @LauraSKh]

Very excited to be able to finally share this amazing news 🥰🥳🤩
