</span><p>Under the theme “Europe in a Global Context,” speakers
will address topics ranging from the resurgence of far-right groups in
Germany, the implications of Brexit, and the independence movement in

<p>Talks will take place at noon on Wednesdays in the Bone Student
Center through April 25. The series is free and open to the public. Find
a full list of speakers on the <a href="https://internationalstudies.illinoisstate.edu/internationalization/seminar-series/">International Seminar Series website</a>.</p>

</strong>“Brexit—It’s British Context and the International Implications”</p>
<p>Illinois State’s Assistant Professor of History Richard Soderlund

Britain from the European Union.</p>
<p><strong>March 21<br>
</strong>“Refugees Need Language—Perspectives on the Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM) Initiative of the Council of Europe”</p>
<p>A record number (more than 5 million) of mostly adult migrants and
refugees from non-EU countries have immigrated to the European Union
since 2015. Associate Professor of French and Linguistics Zsuzsanna
Fagyal at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will offer an
overview of the Council of Europe’s “Linguistic Integration of Adult
Migrants” (LIAM) initiatives, which assist host countries in providing
rapid acquisition of basic competence in the national languages for
migrants.</p>
<p>Fagyal earned a doctorate from the Université de Paris III Sorbonne
Nouvelle. Her research focuses on the sociophonetics of French and
language policy and planning in Europe.</p>
<p>The series is sponsored by the Office of International Studies and
Programs and co-sponsored by the Harold K. Sage Fund and Illinois State
University Foundation; Milner Library; the College of Arts and Sciences;
the Department of Economics; the Department of Politics and Government;
