For this year's PILAS conference, as well as a full day of presentations, we've got a bunch of workshops, talks, and even an exclusive film screening planned. Details to come very soon! CfP and abstract submission here: slasuk.org/pilas-conference-…
🚨 Deadline extension!! 🚨 We're delighted with all the submissions so far, but we realise many are facing teaching pressures as the end of the semester approaches – so we've pushed back the abstract deadline. The new deadline will be 16 December. Just over two week's time!

The second #EURO2024 quarter final sees Helena 🇵🇹 take on Sylvain 🇫🇷 in #PORFRA. Helena has tipped Portugal to win the whole tournament. Sylvain has gone for (checks notes) Scotland 🤨. At least one of them might be right! Enjoy the game! #TeamLLC
