<span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Immigration is one of the most divisive contemporary topics in the UK. Amid the political, cultural, and societal challenges facing migrant communities, this
event invites participants to critically reflect on how the linguistic and semiotic practices of multilingual migrants evolve as they navigate communicative events and construct their identities in the new environment. More specifically, we ask questions like:
Is the importance of (British) English repeatedly emphasised while the translanguaging practices of migrant communities are neglected and contradicted? Are migrants who do not speak ‘standard’ English mocked and discriminated against?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; line-height: 18.4px; margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In addressing the event themes, we seek to move beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and create a novel space to engage diverse researchers and community
members. We hope to showcase the diverse range of qualitative, quantitative, and creative methods in exploring the lived experiences of migrants.</span></p>
