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 🤞🎓🔎

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 😎🤓.

All right, nerds, is this a vestigial oil-powered streetlight(?) Long Beach, CA, today
ETA, ok it appears to be an air raid siren, per multiple replies. Thx! (I was misled by the grating & shades, but now that I think about it, a light would probably nod to old-timey lanterns in a skeuomorph kinda way instead of this more modern design)

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: https://oa.finlit.fi/site/books/e/10.21435/sflin.24/

A worthwhile Kate Wagner article:
https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/what-happened-to-21st-century-city/
"When I was younger, growing up in the rural but rapidly developing small town of my youth, I believed that cities were the place where one could find freedom. The greatest disappointment of my young adulthood has been the discovery that this is not true."
