    Bilingualism and Code-Switching: by popular demand
    In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students. Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English. My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual. For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

    Empires of Epidemics: Disease History and Its Influence on Modern Life

In this personalized, one-on-one course, we’ll examine the global history of disease and uncover how outbreaks have built and broken systems across time. Using primary sources, historical documents, visual media, propaganda, art, and medical texts, we’ll explore how different societies understood, feared, fought disease, and what those responses can teach us about the modern world. Each lesson focuses on a specific disease or pandemic, such as: - The Black Death and early public health - The Spanish Flu and wartime censorship - Cholera, sanitation, and the modern city - Tuberculosis and the romanticization of illness - HIV/AIDS, activism, and inequality - COVID-19 in historical perspective What you’ll gain: - A deeper understanding of disease as a force in world history - Tools to analyze historical sources and narratives - Connections between past and present public health responses - Insight into how memory, fear, and resilience shape our collective story This course is ideal for students of history, public health, or anyone curious about how disease has helped build — and challenge — the modern world.
