Disrupting Digital Monolingualism Workshop
Home Aims & Themes Programme Registration Participate Calendar Contact
Welcome to the section for the Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop, a one-and-a-half day event which will be held online on June 16th and 17th 2020. The workshop is hosted by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.
Due to the COVID-19 health crisis we have re-factored the workshop as a virtual event with a series of synchronous/live and asynchronous/pre-recorded interventions, using a combination of audiovisual and text-based tools. The workshop will include a combination of lightning talks, demos, posters, panels and a mini-workshop, and we encourage participation on social channels. We believe this still represents an excellent opportunity to collectively make a mutually enriching and inspiring contribution to discussions about digital multilingualism!
