Newsletter #10 (January 2021)

A (belated) Happy New Year to everyone – may it end more kindly than it began.

Things to look forward to this year include:

• a steady stream of researchers moving, at slightly different speeds, towards the finish line (e.g. Ivy, Felix, Sue, Helen, and Huran)
• a new series of LANTERN alumni/associate talks (see below)
• further work developing the idea of a resource (and associated training workshops) for “Publishing during and from/after a doctorate” … watch this space
• revised project proposals to be taken through ethical approval (eg Xian and Jing).

Alumni/Associate Talks (as confirmed so far, who knows what will happen in March)

• Fri 15th January, 10.00/10.15 … Magdalena De Stefani
• Fri 22nd January, 10.00/10.15 … Dalal Al Abassi
• Fri 29th January, 10.00/10.15 … Huran Mirillo
• Fri 5th February, 12.00/12.15 … Duygu Candarli
• Fri 12th February, 12.00/12.15 … Fida Sahar
• Fri 19th February, 12.00/12.15 … Natasha Tsantila
• Fri 26th February, 12.00/12.15 … Ivy Taslima

This flow of talks, by an mixture of alumni, current students, and research associates, is very pleasing. LANTERN has indeed woken up after is slumber of 2019.

Reminder:

Everyone can post …. so please share any news items, details of upcoming calls for papers, chapters articles etc, conference announcements, new books published, not forgetting your work-in-progress, your news of successes (re employment, publishing, submissions, vivas, etc).

{CONCEPTUALISING}

One new type of posting this year is the {CONCEPTUALISING} strand, with posts already up regarding:

• intercultural musicking
• interthinking and collaboration
• intercultural personhood (imminent)

I wonder what the February Newsletter #11 will bring ….
