Meeting Description:

The two-day international conference Multidisciplinary Approaches to Migration
and Multilingualism (MAMM2022) will be held in Nicosia, Cyprus on October
22-23, 2022. The conference is organized and funded by the Department of
English Studies and the Department of French and European Studies, as part of
the project MIGDISCY- Migration, Discourse, Cyprus, internally funded by the
University of Cyprus.

The central theme of this conference is migration and multilingualism. The
purpose of the conference is to bring together scholars working on these areas
from different perspectives and with different populations, to exchange ideas
and engage in a fruitful discussion.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning to have the conference take
place physically, however, we are prepared to switch to a virtual conference
if the situation in Cyprus does not allow travel from international
destinations. We will of course be open to other presentations from speakers
online, if need be, given the circumstances.
