Belatedly remembering to post about this publication co-written with colleagues @utas.edu.au including @drfergusedwards.bsky.social, arguing for a hass-inflected (& appropriately critical) approach to work integrated learning pedagogy for BAs. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I'm exhausted and drained, but what a wonderful few days at AMSN 2024 was! Michelle Cahill discussing and reading from her novel, Daisy and Woolf, was such a grand way to finish, too. Congratulations and thanks to @utasenglish.bsky.social and @drmilthorpe.bsky.social and team for hosting!

Research: spending several hours combing census records and land registries to find the owner of a house you mention once in a footnote and which is entirely tangential to the main thrust of your work. And when you find them, pumping your fist in the air like you're Rocky.

Would the phrase "at the present" (referring to soldiers) mean that the soldiers are standing presenting arms? Is this well-known military slang?
