Happy and proud to have been invited to the graduation ceremony for our teacher training students. Usually teachers don’t attend so feeling a bit special. 🤩

Getting ready for my last lecture this term enjoying the reflection of the sun from a window at the old Fysicum at Uppsala Uni after a couple of very dark and grey days Tomorrow we celebrate St. Lucy’s Day, the bearer of light in the midwinter darkness, here in Sweden. Have a great weekend!❤️

Meänkielifiera mera! 🤩 @skolverket.bsky.social och UR har tagit fram fina affischer för meänkieli och finska. Beställ eller skriv ut, sätt upp och bidra till att göra Sveriges nationella minoritetsspråk mer synliga. #revitalising #minoritetsspråk #skola #revitalization
En affisch med titeln meänkieli. På affischen finns ett årshjul med bilder och begrepp på meänkieli.

Today is International Roma Day! I made quick visit to our local library and found a little exhibition with books in and information about #Romani and the #Roma people. #Romani (all varieties) is recognised as a national minority language in Sweden since 2000.

Pågående osynlighet i majoritetssamhälle nämns ofta när det gäller #nationellaminoriteter, särskilt #tornedalingar, #kväner & #lantalaiset. Därför blev jag extra glad när jag just stötte på detta kapitel i en ny bok som vi tagit in som kurslitteratur för blivande F-3-lärare. Yks askel etheenpäin! 🙌

Lihkku beivviin! Læhkoeh biejjine! Vuorbbe biejvijn! Idag firas Samefolkets dag! I mitt kontor hänger bl.a. ett vykort med ett gammalt foto av samiska elever i Kautokeino samt ett skosnöre. En samisk kollega till mig har lärt mig fläta dessa.

Is there a symbol for PhD anniversaries? 😅 5 years ago I defended my PhD thesis having @konstanzemarx.bsky.social as a fantastic opponent! Today I celebrated with a talk on minoritised languanges in digital spaces.🥳

Heading further South. Today @susannemohr7.bsky.social and I visited Hammarfest for a short stop and we are soon approaching Tromsø. Found some children books in North Sámi and magnets with the Kven flag in a local bookshop in Hammerfest.🤩

Before heading South by boat, @susannemohr7.bsky.social and I had the chance to visit an exhibition of the Kven artist Åsne Kummeneje Mellem in Kirkenes. This is her work ”I never learnt my mothertongue”. Happy to say that we actually heard and saw Kven in Kirkenes as well.❤️
