Meeting Description:

The validity of boundaries between languages and literacies has been intensely
debated in the field of language and literacy education questions since the
turn of the 21st Century. Competing concepts such as translanguaging,
codemeshing, metrolanguaging and polylanguaging have taken a centre stage in
current discourses around multilingual and multicultural education. However,
there are very few literacy programmes that have provided blue prints on how
these multilingual spaces can be harnessed as resources to offset monolingual
bias and its attendant rigidity that is pervasive in our classrooms. This
conference will showcase local and international responses to the changing
language and literacy spaces and to provide pathways for future imperatives
through dialogues and forge networks among researchers and practitioners
worldwide.

Keynote Speakers:
- Professor Kwesi Prah, Centre for Advanced Studies in an African Society,
Cape Town
- Professor Brok-Utne , University of Oslo, Norway
- Dr Munene Mwaniki, University of Free State, South Africa

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.
