MA in Language & Cultural Diversity
Centre for Language Discourse and Communication
King's College London
www.kcl.ac.uk/ldc

This new MA programme provides a platform for the study and understanding
of the linguistic dimensions of social and cultural diversity in globalized
societies. It combines an introduction to linguistic perspectives on
identity and culture with a variety of optional modules that provide the
opportunity to specialise in three areas:

* Linguistic diversity - e.g. 'Cultures in grammar', 'World languages &
linguistic typology', 'Language, mind & culture'
* Discourse, text, interaction and identity - e.g. 'Linguistic approaches
to narrative analysis', 'Translation theory', 'Medical discourses',
'Language & power', 'Arabic sociolinguistics'
* Teaching and diversity - e.g. 'Language contact, bilingualism & Black
Englishes', 'Language practices in multi-ethnic classrooms'

Within and across these strands, students can develop their knowledge and
abilities in language analysis, sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography,
discourse analysis, translation, first & second language learning,
cognitive/psycholinguistics, language education and language policy.
Students are supported by modules in research methodology ('Researching
linguistic diversity' & 'Digital methods for text & discourse analysis'),
and they are encouraged to pursue their interests in particular languages
and/or in social, cultural and practical issues where language plays a
role. There are strong links to the extensive and internationally
recognised research on language and culture conducted at the Centre for
LDC, as well as to the work on linguistic diversity in London and beyond.

Jackie Lou and Inge Stockburger would like to announce the publication of a
special issue of *eVox: Georgetown Working Papers in Language, Discourse,
and Society *dedicated to Ron Scollon. This issue is a collection of essays
written by Ron's former students at Georgetown (and beyond), reflecting on
the influence of his scholarly work (often with his wife Suzie) and of Ron
as a teacher, mentor, and friend.

We've also added Ron's own voice to this collection. We are grateful to
Suzie for allowing us to include the last lecture that Ron prepared for a
conference at Aalborg University in Denmark. In this lecture, Ron returned
to his earlier interest in the ethnopoetics of Athabaskan narratives and
incorporated it into a comparative approach which challenges the
Aristotelian lens of narrative social analysis by considering four types of
non-Aristotelian narratives (Athabaskan, Chinese, Javanese and Arabic).

If you're familiar with Ron's work, reading this issue is a wonderful way to
remember and celebrate his life and career. If you're new to Ron's work, we
hope these essays will inspire you to learn more about his research and
approaches to analyzing language, discourse, and social interaction.

You can read the entire issue here:

Best,
Inge & Jackie
