Description: It’s a specialised and highly intensive summer programme for students and academic/non-academic stakeholders interested in Multilingualism, Diversity and Social Justice pedagogy, policy and research from a Linguistics, Modern Languages and Translation Studies angle. MultiDiv is a unique hub which brings together senior academics as well as UG (undergraduate) /PG (postgraduate) research developed through the formal curriculum and relevant extracurricular activities. It takes the form of an intensive, face-to-face week-long activity and involves workshops, data training and sessions on interpreting research for wider audiences, policy makers and the media, most notably. MultiDiv is, by design, relevant to curriculum content, directly addressing issues related to multilingualism in society. MultiDiv has already brought together Warwick/Monash students, and it is an opportunity to develop a global network which can organically grow through the interests of its community. Structure: 1 week of preparation, 2 weeks of activities + independent study & group work. We expect full participation in the synchronous activities during the 3 weeks of MultiDiv, as well as all asynchronous activities. After the preparatory week, students will work for 2 weeks in cross-university teams to design and conduct their own research project. At the end of the two weeks, they will present their project as a group. Then, they will have until the first week of October 2022 to turn their presentation into a group blog post.
Programme: The linguistically diverse nature of contemporary societies is related to a range of complex phenomena in the areas of:
- Translation and human rights
- Language policy and practice
- Language contact and change
- Translation, interpreting and heritage learning
- Public sector translation/interpretation
