@r_publishing's latest issue includes the article @VeraCastiglione and I wrote as part of the @InnoConf collection. The article suggests possible ways to facilitate the development of students' #intercultural competence along with their linguistic skills

Now released our latest publication in the @InnoConf collection: "Innovative language teaching and learning at university: treasuring languages" edited by @APlutino, @KBorthwick & @eriCorradini. Enjoy! https://t.co/0vyRndVCXm

The new issue of @CivettaMagazine is out, congrats to all students! This issue proudly features an interview with Italian hip-hop artist @Amirissaa who's coming to Bristol in Jan to hold a rap writing workshop for the students! Amir ti aspettiamo, DAJE!! https://t.co/msDgsLBlVn

Brilliant to see the magazine produced by @BristolItalian students @CivettaMagazine nominated for Best Specialist Publication by @SPAJournalism awards. Congrats all!

[Stefania Placenti @DrStefaPlacenti]

Agreed! Even before this trivial cover, this portraying it as an "italianization of UK politics" pissed me off. It's a suberfuge to position the faults elsewhere and it fits perfectly in the colonial narrative"we're the greatest (it's just few morons who are like those Italians)"

[Stefania Placenti @DrStefaPlacenti]

Inspiring keynote this morning by Abdoolkarim Vakil at @Lan_GW4 about how to rethink language modules to decolonise the curriculum and foster epistemic justice in the classroom. More of this please!

Oggi più di ieri, resistere.

[Stefania Placenti @DrStefaPlacenti]

Students are occupying the Wills building in solidarity with the UCU's demands. l can't be there to show my support because l'm stuck home with Covid, but if you can please go!

Bristol student protest happening now #ClimateEmergency #ClimateJustice #ClimateActionNow

[Stefania Placenti @DrStefaPlacenti]

Only a week later I'm feeling a fool for hoping my employer would engage with UCU's proposal. Infuriating universities are being so intransigent about what a viable solution looks like. I'm picketing today, let's sprinkle love onto this protest, morale is low #ucustrikes

[Stefania Placenti @DrStefaPlacenti]

Today l was feeling hopeful for the first time in a long while. Hope is power, change is possible! #UCUstrikes
