Meeting Description: 

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid across the corporate
and academic worlds to managing diversity and inclusion (D&I). Like the entire
D&I agenda, its communicative dimension attempts to respond both to economic
needs and to moral and ethical concerns.

On the one hand, celebrating a commitment to D&I has established itself as an
effective and profitable strategy to attract customers and employees alike.
Indeed, research focusing on different languages has shown that organizations
are increasingly relying on their expressive ability to convey an inclusive
identity and to represent values such as D&I as part of their institutional
DNA.

On the other hand, organizations face the challenge of overcoming and tackling
one of the most significant concerns of societies today, exclusion, which is
often intertwined with continuing tensions between majority and minority
identity groups. These tensions have a strong communicative dimension,
relating, for example, to exclusion from important workplace interactions due
to language diversity or to communication practices that are discriminatory
and/or threaten identities.

This interdisciplinary conference aims to gain insights into communication
for, within and about a diverse society. In order to do so, it will bring
together researchers and practitioners to discuss two main issues:

- how organizations communicate D&I across languages; and
- how they approach language-related issues arising within global and diverse
settings.

The program is available on our website. Registration is open until April 3rd
