We talked about a project she conducted in her home city of Jinan, where there is a unique form of address, representative of specific local realities. She conducted surveys and interviews across Jinan, understanding the usage of the term 老师(lǎoshī), which translates usually to ‘teacher’, but takes on a particular endearing mode of address when used in the proximity of Jinan. We talked about what emotional, cultural and social meaning is carried and shared in a single word, and what is lost as language evolves across time and generations. We also explored a more broadly the nature of research ethics and her interest in diasporic literature and linguistic justice more widely.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/2p_4wFMo8eoJF-MxVczNT3uxLZvRwfI5eofgLewj16Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82OGUz/ZjBlMmJjYTZiMjQ0/MWQ3YzNkYmU0NDkz/MTA3ZC5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
