'Nanos gigantum umeris insidentes': Tove Skuttnabb-Kangas 6 July 1940–29 May 2023.

Tove and her husband and partner in the joys and tragedies of life, research and academia, Robert Phillipson, often worked together. She was one of the 20th and 21st Centuries great intellectuals, an advocate and activist on linguistic rights, the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples, as well as those of users of Sign Languages. There is no better way to summarise Tove Skuttnabb-Kangas' impact on so many of us than Bernand de Chartres' 12th Century metaphor, known in English as to "stand on the shoulders of giants".
