Researching Multilingually brings languages into view alongside the social categories of race, gender and class. It allows us to ask the question: ‘What difference does it make that my language(s) is/ are not yours, that my inflections are not yours? And what does it mean to take this seriously as a factor in our research methodologies.
Prof Alison Phipps will take stock of the work undertaken by the AHRC funded project Researching Multilingually at Borders and will present some of the work and theorisations in the book Decolonising Multilingualism.
Scottish Society committee members will be meeting for lunch at The Tinsmith before the talk and attendees are welcome to join (at your own expense). For more information about lunch and to view the menu, please click the book online button above.
Bookings close on 22 February 2019.
