of Europe’s economic crisis and struggles for refugees.

*March 7 *“Brexit—It’s British Context and the International Implications”

Illinois State’s Assistant Professor of History Richard Soderlund will
explore the latest developments in Brexit, or the “divorce” of Britain from
the European Union.

*March 21 *“Refugees Need Language—Perspectives on the Linguistic
Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM) Initiative of the Council of Europe”

A record number (more than 5 million) of mostly adult migrants and refugees
from non-EU countries have immigrated to the European Union since 2015.
Associate Professor of French and Linguistics Zsuzsanna Fagyal at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will offer an overview of the
Council of Europe’s “Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants” (LIAM)
initiatives, which assist host countries in providing rapid acquisition of
basic competence in the national languages for migrants.

Fagyal earned a doctorate from the Université de Paris III Sorbonne
Nouvelle. Her research focuses on the sociophonetics of French and language
policy and planning in Europe.

The series is sponsored by the Office of International Studies and Programs
and co-sponsored by the Harold K. Sage Fund and Illinois State University
Foundation; Milner Library; the College of Arts and Sciences; the
Department of Economics; the Department of Politics and Government; the
Department of English; the Department of Sociology and Anthropology; the
Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; the School of Art; and
the Department of History.

Programs at (309) 438-5276.
