We\u00a0are now at the end of Day 2 of LLAS: the Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies. Our new website <\/a>is up nicely integrated with Twitter and Facebook. Our new logo builds on our longstanding identity as LLAS (pronounced L-L-A-S) and we have kept our purple colours.<\/p>\n

We have 19 events up on our website now kicking off with our annual workshop for Heads of Department on 14 September. Much of our professional development is going on as it has for the past eleven-and-a-half years as we seek to maintain and\u00a0develop that which we have built up.<\/p>\n

On a personal level\u00a0there are significant changes. I am now only working only four days per week, but am seeking ways to make up my shortage of hours(!). Additionally, as from next week I will start as the Acting Academic Coordinator for the Higher Education Academy Islamic Studies Network<\/a>, a role which I expect to be undertaking until March 2012.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently catching up on some unfinished business from last week (I was ill for a couple of days), notably a summary report\u00a0on the National Student Survey projects we funded and the 2011 survey of non-specialist language learners.<\/p>\n

I will be a taking some time off work later this month with plans to finish painting the hallway, landing and stairs (in Dulux co<\/a>okie dough<\/a>) and continuing to organise my messy outbuilding (bigger than a shed, smaller than a garage).<\/p>\n\n\n
