follows a series of global crises epitomised by moments of spectacular disruption such as the so-called ‘2008 economic crisis’ or the ‘COVID-19 pandemic’. But far from representing isolated events, these build on long-standing processes, practices and experiences
of inequality which are increasingly at the centre of more and more people’s daily lives. The conference aims to provide a platform to reflect on the types of alliances that ethnographic and language scholarship might be able to generate in the (un)making
of such inequalities.</span></p>

British Association for Applied Linguistics (BAAL). The conference was first inspired by a research training programme previously run at King’s College London and the Institute of Education. Hosted by Julia Snell, Sara Shaw and Fiona Copland, the first conference
took place in 2008 at Aston University to offer further opportunities to exchange knowledge around ethnography, language and communication. Since then, the conference has aimed to:</span><span style="margin:0px; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; font-size:12pt"></span></p>
