[Edling] [Lgpolicy] Share Your Memories of Bernard Spolsky

[Vaidehi Ramanathan via Edling]

I didn't ever have good fortune to meet Prof. Spolsky, but his work and especially his pieces with Prof. Elana Shohamy on circularities between lg. policy, lg ideology and lg. practice are ones I go back to all the time. His scholarship points to one who was profoundly invested in all issues regarding language use, most especially in contexts of education.  Now when I see his name I will recall this time of collective e-remembrances and the memory of this will remain a blessing.

RIP.


Best,
Vai

Subject: [Lgpolicy] Share Your Memories of Bernard Spolsky

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
