Disrupting Digital Monolingualism: An international workshop on languages in critical digital theory and practice

Meeting URL: https://languageacts.org/digital-mediations/event/disrupting-digital-monolingualism/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics; Translation 

Meeting Description: 

The Disrupting Digital Monolingualism workshop is a one-and-a-half day event
which will be held online on June 16th and 17th 2020. The workshop is hosted
by the Language Acts & Worldmaking project with the support of the
Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community project, both projects funded by
the AHRC as part of its Open World Research Initiative.

Due to the COVID-19 health crisis we have re-factored the workshop as a
virtual event with a series of synchronous/live and asynchronous/pre-recorded
interventions, using a combination of audiovisual and text-based tools. The
workshop will include a combination of lightning talks, demos, posters, panels
and a mini-workshop, and we encourage participation on social channels. We
believe this still represents an excellent opportunity to collectively make a
mutually enriching and inspiring contribution to discussions about digital
multilingualism!
