A symposium on

“Multiculturalism, multilingualism and culture-language education in Asia and the Pacific”

Date: 18, 19, and 25 November 2021

Call for abstracts

We invite abstracts for the symposium on multiculturalism and multilingualism in Asia and the Pacific”, part of the “Intercultural dimensions in language education” Flagship at the Australian National University.

This online-symposium is to bring together professionals and academics to discuss the complex dynamics of multicultural/multilingual regions and countries in Asia and the Pacific. Issues of multiculturalism/multilingualism have been of long-standing theoretical and empirical interest across different disciplines. We are interested in the socio-cultural-historical-political-economic-educational dimensions and challenges that they pose in the modern context in Asia and the Pacific, which straddle across intertwined themes such inter-ethnic relations, peace and harmony, indigenous minority rights, culture-language interrelation, culture-language maintenance, language and education policy, and local/regional ethnolinguistic economic vitality. We invite abstracts that examine issues in these topics from particular disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspectives. We welcome case studies or comparative studies focusing on specific regions or countries in Asia and the Pacific.
