Description
Conference Theme:Reflecting on language, culture and interculturality: Global debates, local challenges
The events of the past two years have seen disruptions to the global flows of capital and labour, and an increase in digital communications globally. In a world where virtual encounters have displaced many (but by no means all) physical ones, we face ever greater challenges in facilitating social and cultural mobilities, while we continue to meet with inequalities, disempowerment, sustained conflict, political, medical and economic crises, and ecological threats. This conference invites us to revisit and critique our theoretical and practical assumptions about interculturality, language, education, and critical pedagogy. How do we as scholars and educators respond creatively and positively to global and local challenges in times of crisis?
We particularly invite speakers to draw on the long and rich tradition of intercultural communication, language teaching and critical pedagogy in the Global South to address topics in language, culture, and interculturality, reflecting critically on the impact on local and global pedagogies of scholars such as Augusto Boal, Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux and Boaventura de Sousa Santos.
