Connected archive

Connected, LUCELEC’s weekly column

What happens to this archive is still being decided

Connected ran as a weekly column, and its pieces carry no dates; two of them place themselves in 2011. We found no magazine issues or PDFs on lucelec.com, only the 17 columns below, which open on LUCELEC’s current site. There are also 22 audio segments from 2012, 11 topics in English and Kwéyòl, with no transcripts. They are not carried here, and the recommendation is to retire them.
