In our first conference, Languages
Memory, we want to enliven our awareness of the ways in which languages are
experienced, practised, taught and researched. We will reflect upon the place
of language learning and engage with the material and historical force of
languages in the world.
Conference sessions all respond to the central theme of Languages Memory in innovative and creative ways, working across a wide range of disciplines and methodologies. Sessions will include expert panels, drama and soundscape workshops, poetry presentations, and autoethnographic reflections. The conference programme also includes a specially invited keynote address, and expert policy panel:
Keynote Lecture: Juan Luis Suárez, Director, CulturePlex
Languages Policy, Expert Discussion: Professor Terry Lamb, Professor of Languages and Interdisciplinary Pedagogy, University of Westminster; Lid King, The Languages Company; Wendy Ayres-Bennett, University of Cambridge.
Public Programme
