Meeting Description: 

Over the last three years, the LitCo (Literacies in Contact) network, a group
of researchers in the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics, education and
history has been exploring the use of written language in multilingual
settings. The major goal of LitCo was to bring about a change of perspective
in current fields of studies and to systematically relate multilingualism with
literacies.

Meanwhile, new methodological and theoretical approaches for research on
literacies and literacy practices in the context of multilingualism have been
developed. At the final conference, results of this work will be presented and
discussed together with international researchers in the field.
