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.

Engines of War: Medical and Technological Innovations of War
War is a catalyst for destruction — but it also sparks invention. From antibiotics to the internet, trauma surgery to satellites, some of the most life-changing discoveries in science and medicine were born on the battlefield. In this 1-on-1 course, we’ll trace the complicated relationship between conflict and progress, exploring how the urgency of war has driven advancements in technology, public health, and medical care, often at a devastating cost.
Through a mix of primary sources, propaganda, military records, and visual media, we’ll examine both the breakthroughs and the human consequences behind them. Each lesson focuses on a different conflict or innovation, giving students the tools to think critically about how societies respond to crisis, and what we choose to remember.
Topics Included:
- World War I: Shell shock, plastic surgery, chemical warfare, and the origins of trauma care
- World War II: Penicillin, blood banks, radar, and the dawn of the atomic age
- The Korean War: MASH units, air evacuations, and advances in burn treatment
- Vietnam War: Helicopter medicine, PTSD research, and ethical debates on chemical weapons
- The Cold War: Space exploration, computing, surveillance, and scientific competition
- Modern Conflicts: Drones, AI, prosthetics, and the rise of cyberwarfare
Learning Goals:
- How scientific and medical innovation has evolved under the pressures of war
- The ethical questions surrounding "progress at a cost"
- The long-term civilian impact of military inventions
- How to analyze historical documents and visual culture
- How memory, trauma, and necessity shape the story of war
