Meeting Description:

Globalisation and migration are two of the most important phenomena in the
early 21st century and bring with them a number of opportunities and
challenges, not least in terms of how people communicate and learn in new
environments, both real and online. As a result of the rise in the movement of
people and in interconnectivity more generally, an already multilingual world
is becoming even more multilingual. How people use and develop their
linguistic repertoires has been the subject of much scholarly attention. Less
attention has been paid, however, to the ways in which people identify
themselves and are identified by others as multilingual.

This conference brings together researchers in applied linguistics,
sociolinguistics, modern languages and education studies to explore
multilingualism and identity from a variety of perspectives, with the aim of
creating new synergies.  

Keynote Speakers:

Professor David Block (ICREA, Universitat de Lleida)
Professor Patricia Duff (University of British Columbia)
Professor Bonny Norton (University of British Columbia)
Professor Alastair Pennycook (University of Technology, Sydney)
Professor Alison Phipps (University of Glasgow)
