I've 2k pics being slowly processed Here, I was at a funeral (janaza) at a mosque in China's Northeast, built during Qing era. The literacy practices of the funeral are locally specific but decidedly translingual. Funerals are key in my data on heritage literacy @SinoMuslimLit

This excellent article by Lesley Gourlay is a companion piece to my article 'Postdigital Possibilities in Applied Linguistics’ (based on my BAAL keynote). Together they set the tone for our coming special issue: Companion piece:

It was my great pleasure to present on my Leverhulme Trust study at Lingnan University today. It would have been nice if, in the shot, my neck tie were as neatly aligned as the ideas I unfolded during the talk! A surprisingly engaging audience at @LuGraduate @QUBSSESW

A pleasure to share work about the @SinoMuslimLit project today, and meet MCI folk and researchers. Also loaned some project art to Manchester Museum. More pics to come. For now, a big thank you to @UoMChina @naomi_baciu for excellent organisation and hosting.

1- An interesting artefact of historical literacy that I saw in Cyprus last year. Ottoman’s kept meticulous records & this recently printed volume alone details a mere 15 years of Ottoman rulings (fatawa) applied within Cyprus. Scans of original scripts are contained in here ..

I’m strangely excited for this week’s #SRHE conference in Birmingham. Feels weird that it’s not in Celtic Manor. Also have multiple doctoral students attending and presenting, as I did when I first got involved with the Society. Any trad/desi restaurant recommendations?

Stuff from last year’s China trip I still have not unpacked properly. I hope to lay it all out and do a thread on all the pieces. Via the @SinoMuslimLit account soon!
