Hi David,
Thanks for your message. I’m hearing how the language of inclusion has impacted
you positively. And I’m guessing this could also be a helpful topic for the
work of the SIG. It is on the list.
I’m looking forward to an interesting meeting. See you there.
Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Clarifying maybe…?
Woman that shaped my outlook and work was Nganyinytja (look her up)
What brought us together was dreadful effects of colonial process on Anangu
youth
But what she did and talked about was respect for traditions, love for people,
and solutions for the future

Dear all
Some interesting links being made here.
Elizabeth talks about "the language of peace and compassion", which David sees
as consonant with "positive discourse analysis", but what exactly is the
relationship between the two?: how does understanding inform doing, and
intellectual clarity feed into effective activism?
Elizabeth draws our attention to the Andrew Lamings of this world, as
presumably an (alleged) representative of toxic masculinity, while David gives
a roll call of the women who have suffered the worst and tragic effects of a
world of toxic masculinity, but are now us showing us the way out of it
Do we need to "talk to" as well as "talk about" the toxic males, the Andrew
Lamings, Christian Porters, Mark Lathams, Alan Joneses of this world whose
power seems to stem from their masculinity, but whose exercise of that power
(arguably) reveals them as deeply uncertain of it?
Do we need to "hold up" the women who have suffered as matres dolorosae, as
models outside ourselves whose example we can emulate; or do we need to use the
example of their lives to turn the spotlight back on ourselves, and see how we
are implicated in the relations of power and violence in our society?
I suspect this Special Interest Group is going to have a lot to talk about!
best to all

This is great Elizabeth
We need more and more positive discourse analysis
How do Grace Tame, Rosie Batty, Greta Thunberg, Nyadol Nyuon ... touch our
hearts and minds?

Dear All,
At the ASFLA Annual General Meeting this year, I put the following motion to
the meeting:
to establish a Special Interest Group which seeks to research and understand
the language of peace and compassion. It was seconded by Shooshi Dreyfus and
Rosemary Huisman and accepted unanimously.
My motivation for this is to foster and support SF linguistic research in this
area to grow the body of knowledge in relation to the registers of peace,
compassion and inclusion. Adversarial language is everywhere but what about
language choices which socially connect and include? I’m reminded of the
‘empathy training’ for Andrew Lamming.
https://theconversation.com/andrew-laming-why-empathy-training-is-unlikely-to-work-158050
What did he learn in his online course, I wonder? And was his training based
on any language evidence?
I’d like to kick start the SIG by inviting interested researchers to join me at
the inaugural meeting to agree on the role of the SIG, its mission and
structure. The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 1 December at 2.30pm via
zoom. See the link below.

item, send it through. Please note that the zoom meeting is coming from my

Looking forward to seeing you.
