<p>The Department of Applied Linguistics and Communication,
Birkbeck, University of London and the Birkbeck Institute for
the Humanities</p>
<p>Whilst there is still comparatively limited research on LPP in
organisations, studies on supranational organisations (e.g. the
EU and UN) and public administration of multilingual states
(e.g. Canada, Switzerland, Belgium) have shown that they
experience great difficulties in implementing and sustaining
multilingual provision. This can lead to marked inefficiencies
and inequities for those functioning within
organisations/administrations and/or those affected externally
by their work. Current language regimes in some multilingual
organisations no longer necessarily reflect the practices or
needs of individuals who work within them. Moreover, there is
demand for scientific data on ‘optimal’ language regimes for
established and newly emerging multilingual organisations. For
further developments in the field of LPP and for academics to be
able to inform policy makers, concerted interdisciplinary
collaboration is needed – not least the combined efforts of
linguists, economists and political scientists.</p>
<p>This symposium will bring together some of the leading scholars
in the field of LPP who work across a range of disciplines
(education; economics; linguistics; politics) in order to
discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li>the unique challenges faced by multilingual organisations
working within different sectors (e.g. business; diplomacy;
economics) and the challenges faced by researchers who work in
these sites</li>
<li>methods to investigate and model language regimes </li>
<li>the identification and the evaluation of the socio-economic
and political effects of alternative ways of managing
multilingual communication adopted by public administrations
and organisations (e.g. political representativeness,
democratic participation, social exclusion)</li>
<li>the current priorities for LPP research and its impact on
policy makers working in multilingual organisations.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Open to All:<br>
