[Edling] Share Your Memories of Bernard Spolsky

[Bessie Dendrinos]

Such immensely sad news for our academic community. 

I had the pleasure of being inspired by his work and it was a privilege to have had a paper of mine included in the book he co-edited in honour of Elana Shohamy, on occasion of her retirement from her university post. I’m referring to the collection he edited with Ofra Inbar-Lourie and Michal Tannenbaum, published by Routledge in 2015: Challenges for Language Education and Policy: Making Space for People.

May he rest in peace

Bessie

Dear Colleagues,

 

Professor Bernard Spolsky meant so much to many of us as a scholar, friend, and mentor.  He founded the field of educational linguistics, and he was a pioneer in the field of language policy.  As moderator of the Edling and Lgpolicy listservs, I invite list members to share their favorite memories of Bernard as a tribute to him.  I am cross-posting for those who are not on both lists.

 

Best,

Francis
