Black Educators Teaching English in Asia
Hello Tumblr-folks!
I'm posting this on behalf of my amazingly wonderful friend Shantรก who is currently in Scotland working on her Master's Degree. And that means writing a dissertation. Which in her case means doing research.
I know how the web of shares works on Tumblr and I am hoping that we can share this far and wide so that it will come across the dashs of those who fit her demographic.
So if you ARE a Black educator (you don't have to be American) who teaches or has taught English in Asia, PLEASE click the link and fill out the questionnaire. Research Study
If you DON'T fit that demographic PLEASE share this post so that it can make it to the right eyes.
I have been talking up how helpful all of our followers and mutuals on Tumblr are with this kind of thing, so let's show off how great we are!
Without further ado, here is a little intro from my badass bestie:
Hi! My name isย Shantรก and I am a postgraduate student at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. I am from the States, but relocated to the UK to pursue my master's degree in Global Business Communication. After successfully passing all my courses in the first term, I am now spending the summer working on my dissertation, which centers the lived experiences of Black educators teaching English in Asia. My focus is primarily for those with experience in TESOL/TEFL spaces, but I am open to participants in the JET Program or other programs where you were/are teaching English in an Asian country.
You may be wondering, what this has to do with my specific program. Since English is often considered the "global language of business," I am investigating who gets to be the face of this global language.
If you or someone you know has this specific background and experience and would like to contribute to this research study, please complete the attached/enclosed questionnaire. Please note that the questionnaire will be available online until 23:59 BST on 28 July 2026
Although the questionnaire outlines pertinent information on the privacy policy as well as the data collection and use, I understand you may have some additional questions about the research study. If so, please feel free to send me an email at d.mcdonaldbey.25 (at) abdn.ac.uk
Thank you!
Research Study
Go forth and share!
Thanks! Adrian @ Optimytical Studios
what's the silliest linguistics paper title you've come across?
Compiled a lil' list of my faves, enjoy !
Martin et al. (2020) - Why one can kill Rasputin twice in Mandarin
Wurmbrand (2017) - Stripping and topless complements
Reiss (2024) - Yes, we have NoBanana? Arguments against Richness of the Base
Meadows (2024) - Size matters: clause structure and locality constraints in Swahili relatives
Kokkonidis (2005) - Why glue a donkey to an f-structure when you can constrain it and bind it instead
Josefsson (2022) - Pancake inflection is agreement in non-specificity
Arregi & Hewett (2025) - Singular they and the syntax of townhouses
Mandelkern (2015) - I believe I can Phi
Bleotu (2012) - Why does IT always rain on me ? On weather verbs
Saba (2008) - Concerning Olga, the Beautiful Little Street Dancer (Adjectives as Higher-Order Polymorphic Functions)
THESE ARE INCREDIBLE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
ALSO it's so frustrating how funny and cheerful i can be in my first language, and how stilted and serious i am forced to be in my second language because a) i can't think/translate/speak fast enough to make jokes and b) i can't listen/translate/think fast enough to understand others' jokes
one thing i've learned from studying abroad is just how incredibly easy it is for miscommunication and misunderstanding to happen. like it is truly one of the most common and simple acts in life, that you can say something and your interlocutor(s) will hear something else

I'm behind on every assignment in the entire world
whumpee sits down, ignoring the pain in their ribs as they hug their knees to their chest, "just a few more hours, caretaker will come for you. just wait a few more hours."
last study abroad i was always super prepared for class and wondered why my classmate always seemed like he was just seeing the text for the first time that day. turned out he was focused on getting all the homework done and i... was not. there wasn't time after preparing for class.
this program has stressed the importance of homework, so i have been scrambling to get that done in time, and... i'm never prepared for class. i'm floundering every day and wondering how they expect us to do everything when there's simply not enough time, much less space for the ~work-life balance~ they mentioned in the same breath as "don't come complaining to me about burnout without having a plan to solve it"
got some sleep, no longer feel radiating waves of rage at everything/everyone in my vicinity ๐

i got a membership at a fancy gym with a pool, so hopefully swimming and treadmill running to beat the heat wave (and escape zombies?) will prevent burnout

what's up, i'm in rabat and it's gorgeous
i would have walked right past my hostel if not for this cat loafing in the middle of the path near the door like a video game npc with a quest for me
i only got a glimpse of the city since i got in fairly late, but i'm hoping to go for a little run on the corniche in the morning and then my friend is going to give me a tour ๐
weekend trip cut short by a trip to the hospital for a bad case of food poisoning ๐๐
The thing about being mysterious is sometimes youโre just dehydrated and replying tomorrow

there is the line between bisexual and aroace and i am using it as a jump rope
i think today was the first time i have ever a) gone to the train station all by myself, b) bought tickets all by myself, during which c) the cashier didn't switch to english or french (although they did have me write one word down, then they read it out loud, which made me i realize i'd been mispronouncing it *facepalm*)
this is actually huge. i got on that plane across the atlantic thinking 'shit, i still don't know the local language :/' and here i am, using it every day to accomplish goals
