  5. Another reason why understanding how #multilingualism and socio-economic opportunities are distributed across urban space. A lot of my research has been about exploring these aspects from a geographical perspective.

    The link is in Finnish, but the title roughly says "Large-scale study: Linguistic competencies are linked to slowing down the aging of the brain."

    Keeping my fingers crossed for positive funding decisions 🤞🎓🔎

  9. Pretty cool to be reading the section on "The Polis" in the City Reader (I am doing some catchup/ broader reading on urban classics more generally for my new job) while cruising through the same waters and seeing the same mountainuous terrain that the classical sources quoted in the section describe 😎🤓.

  10. Wow! 🥳🎊 I received a copy of a book we wrote a chapter for with @tuomo and Hanna-Mari Pienimäki.

    It's one thing to see one's own work published on a website, but another feeling when you can hold it in your hand.

    If you're interested in #multilingualism #sociolinguistics #UrbanStudies and #LinguisticLandscapes check out this book. Relevant also for #UrbanGeography #HumanGeography #GIScience and #multimodality 🤓

    The #OpenAccess book is available here: oa.finlit.fi/site/books/e/10.2

  11. Greetings! Marquette University Press is just getting established here. We’re looking forward to connecting with scholars and other readers interested in #philosophy, #theology, #history, #MedievalStudies, and other areas of the #humanities and social sciences, as well as regional studies relating to the city of #Milwaukee and state of #Wisconsin. Aligned with the mission of #Marquette University, we are also interested in interdisciplinary, #ethics-focused scholarship in the humanities, including in the areas of #UrbanStudies, #EnvironmentalHumanities, #DataEthics, #Communication, and #MediaStudies. We’re delighted to be here!
