Ontslag docenten UCR uitgesteld om semester af te maken Het bestuur van het University College Roosevelt heeft een mail aan de ontslagen docenten gestuurd waarin staat dat hun ontslag is uitgesteld tot juni. URC wil graag dat ze het semester nog afmaken. H...

Stelling: bestuurders die niet eens kunnen bedenken dat je een probleem hebt als je docenten halverwege een semester ontslaat, dienen ontslagen te worden. Kan ook halverwege een semester, dat merkt toch niemand.

Anonymity affords the freedom to learn haphazardly. To that end:

Will non-Indigenous linguists continue to be silent on the harm that the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) causes and promotes through missionization and conversion?

Dit zijn enkele van de activisten van WOinActie op BlueSky. Volg ons in de strijd tegen het afbraakbeleid van dit radicaal-rechtse kabinet.

PVV wil dat kabinet nog meer gaat bezuinigen op het hoger onderwijs - ScienceGuide Het is heel verstandig om te bezuinigen op het hoger onderwijs, en er kan nog meer geld worden weggehaald, zei PVV-senator Gom van Strien.

Dit is waarom je maandag je stem moeten laten horen (Malieveld, Den Haag; 13.00) als het hoger onderwijs je lief is! Als we niet protesteren, gaan ze gewoon door. Uit pure rancune. Tot er niets meer over is.

I know professors aren’t respected, but in the last week: a guy at my gym blamed me for the election loss, and my dental hygienist told me my job was unnecessary because everyone can teach themselves anything online. We work so hard even left-leaning people think we’re either the problem or obsolete

Photograph of Charles Darwin, with a quote next to it, taken from The Descent of Man, his book published in 1871. The quote reads: "Language is an art, like brewing or baking. It certainly is not a true instinct, for every language has to be learnt. It differs, however, widely from all ordinary arts, for man has an instinctive tendency to speak, as we see in the babble of our young children; whilst no child has an instinctive tendency to brew, bake, or write."

More than 150 years after it was written, this quote remains one of the best summaries of why geneticists should study #language. In just a handful of words, Charles Darwin perfectly captures the intertwining of nature and nurture that underpins this distinctive human capacity:

A stacked three panel meme of a conversation between the Beckhams: "I found that all languages..." "Be honest." "The sample was typologically diverse!" "Be honest." "I didn't include sign languages." "Thank you."

I used Handel's earlier book to teach Sinography to Peruvian sinologists back in 2021. Looking forward to this new book. I'm sure people from all backgrounds will appreciate it!
