Retweeting for those that didn't see this yesterday.
The maps show the cold spots for below average tariff unis offering languages now, and if Kent closes. The new cold spot in the South East would make language degrees inaccessible to many because of the commute to London.

New article on a topic that - as chair of the @UCFLangs Widening Participation Languages Network - I care very passionately about. https://t.co/IXJJ0TYrLV

@asaaribibang Una de las primeras frases que aprendió a decir mi hija en español fue ' es mi pelo, no lo toques', ya que cada vez que vamos a España no hay quien no se lo quiera tocar. En Inglaterra, no nos ha ocurrido porque hay más respeto al espacio personal.

[María Muradás-Taylor @MuradasTaylor]
