<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm"><span lang="EN-US"><font face="verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Recent times have been characterized by crisis and disruptions caused by the global pandemics, inner and cross-national conflicts, in
addition to local movements that stem from historical discordances rooted in social inequality. These disruptions bear the imprint of a burgeoning political, cultural, racial, ethnic and gender awareness, as well as the concern towards the appreciation of
linguistic diversity. Language, art and social manifestations serve the purpose of expression and agency for the required transformations. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></font></span></p>
