Subject: Launch of the research centre Platform for Linguistic and Epistemic Justice (PLEJ), SSEES, UCL


Join us for this working launch that marks the establishment of PLEJ,
a research centre dedicated to the socio-cultural study of language in
contexts of uneven power alignments and in interactional settings
which require aesthetic and ethical encounters and responses. Part of
PLEJ’s mission in its UK and European context is to promote broader
social engagement with questions such as:

How are forms of domination and resistance conveyed through discourse
and multi-modal communicative acts?

What are the new pathways that open up for the analytic study of
language and communication through the practitioners’ commitment to
social and epistemic justice, the acknowledgement of the equal value
of diverse knowledge practices, and an inclusive and collaborative
approach to research methods?

How can we address through socio-linguistically informed
cross-disciplinary research the impact of uneven local and global
power dynamics on social mobility, diversity, equity and inclusion?

What are the forms of marginalisation that we as researchers,
linguists, teachers, educators, policy makers, and activists have an
ethical obligation to address in our work while acknowledging the bias
that is inherent in our position and in the personal and social
affects that underpin our thinking?

Both the opening panel and the roundtable will include distinguished
scholars and their students such as invited speakers Professor Yaron
Matras, Professor Tommaso M. Milani, Dr János Imre Heltai, Dr Bojana
Petrić, and Sára Szakál

and contributions from SSEES staff Dr Jelena Ćalić, Dr Elodie Douarin,
Dr Piro Rexhepi, Dr Eszter Tarsoly, and Dr Riitta-Liisa Valijärvi.

This event will take place in-person and will also be livestreamed
online.
